AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Two groups of unconnected friends are trying to find their place in life. Over the next twelve months, the two groups of friends travel down various paths, seeking love and fulfillment, with every turn leading them away from what they'd hoped to find. It's New Year's Eve. Life in the metropolis has kept the two groups of friends apart, but now destiny brings them together in a remote beach house. The New Year is looking brighter already.'
