Liv is in her early twenties. She works at her family’s garden center in the province. Totally unprepared, she falls in love with the chaotic but spirited Andrea. Andrea has sought refuge at her uncle’s idyllic apple plantation because of stress. Liv has barely cut the umbilical cord from her parents when Andrea bursts into her life. Her encounter with Andrea becomes the catalyst for an identity crisis, which teaches Liv that love and family do not come in a particular form but may take many different shapes.
