Elena, 35, and Jake, 26, meet by chance on New Years Eve, arguing for the same taxi. But, instead of going their separate ways after sharing a ride, they start a passionate relationship. Within weeks they are living together, and not long after they talk about starting a family. But, as the seasons pass, reality catches up with them. Falling in love was the easy part. Can they remain in love when life doesn’t give them everything they hoped for?
