In a semi-ruined villa on the peat bogs, young Hannes plays a melody of his own composition for Polina, his only friend. He believes that besides them, two fourteen-year-olds, and an old piano, there is and will be no one in this huge house.
As an adult, Hannes not only fails to find the right words and courage to confess his feelings to Polina, but also takes a reckless action that separates them for a long time. After many years, during which Hannes feels nothing but emptiness, he realizes that he must find Polina. And the only thing that can help him in this is her melody.
A poignant story about growing up, first love, and decisions made sometimes in the heat of emotions, yet invisibly influencing the lives of several people, as well as about music, bright, weightless, capable of melting even the iciest hearts.
