This story is set in the UK during the Covid lockdown. Jack, suffering a medical complication that keeps him completely isolated. Slowly going stir crazy with his own company, he strikes up a conversation with the woman in the apartment below when he hears her on her balcony. Soon, their conversations are the highlight of his life. Sophia creates an online group with Jack to help people that are having difficulty with the isolation. From just talking on the phone to grocery shopping and dog walking, everyone needs to feel a sense of connection. As their project grows, so do their feelings for each other. And all this without even seeing each other's faces.
I really loved the feeling of closeness between the members of this apartment complex, pulling together to help each other out, socially distanced of course. And through it all a sense of anticipation and hope for when the lockdown ends.
