"- I haven't come here for boys, Gretux. - When my best friend gives me the wry smile, I understand she doesn't believe me. Do I even believe myself? - Well, I hope you mean it! - This seems like a threat. - Listen to me, Martux! You know I won't wipe your tears away when you cry over some guy for the hundredth time. I'm done with your 50 crushes! - I haven't come here to cry, Greta. I've come here to have fun and to make new friends, not BOYfriends. I won't fall in love here. Over my dead body. - I tell her. - You better don't play with words. They aren't just empty sounds." When a simple 16 year old Latvian girl Marta goes on an international trip, she promises herself not to fall for anybody, whether he's a hot Spanish dude or a talkative Czech guy, or a geeky Slovak schoolboy. However, everything changes the moment Marta meets HIM - her Chris.

Hope was few days away from reaching her age of maturity when her parents died in a robbery accident and she lost the only family she had left ass well as her home. After running away from the authorities she decided to try and live in the city. Unfortunately, and ironically, 'hope' was not on her side and she was barely lucky enough to find a decent meal. Almost two years after the accident she finally decides on ending her misery by jumping off a bridge. Just before she leaps into the freezing winter water that runs under the bridge, she gets noticed and saved by a detective working for the police who just so happened to pass by after a long day at work.
