"Two hearts. Two balconies. One pandemic that brought them closer than ever." When the world shuts down during the height of the COVID-19 lockdown, two strangers - Eva, a reclusive illustrator battling loneliness, and Liam, a recently heartbroken musician-find themselves isolated in their apartments, directly across the street from each other. Each evening at 7 p.m., they join the neighborhood in clapping for frontline workers. But when Eva notices the handsome man playing his guitar on the opposite balcony, and he catches sight of her sketching him into her drawings, a silent connection is born. With no physical contact, no shared spaces, and no certainty about the future, they communicate through signs, music, shared meals delivered to doorsteps, and eventually, late-night conversations across balconies. But as the world begins to reopen, and real life starts to creep back in, Eva and Liam must decide if their balcony-born love can survive beyond the railings that kept them apart-and brought them together.
