‘It’s been hot for days and now the air is heavy with the promise of something else. Thick. With something else.’
From her balcony, Marie blasts the same tune, every day at 11am. On hers, Stella tends to red geraniums bursting with colour and life. Two tower blocks facing each other. Two women looking for something more. After a chance encounter in a hailstorm, they embark on a new relationship from the safety of their balconies. When a flurry of miscommunication jeopardises their relationship, will they have the courage to make it work in a world changing beyond recognition?
