She was the rose, he the leaf. Anyone can see the beauty in a rose, but it takes a lot of effort to see the same in a leaf. To love the beautiful is ordinary. To love the ordinary is beautiful.

»»----　★　----««

A compassionate, dramatic, and moving story that takes you back to the 90s. They are two opposites, who think they have nothing in common. But what happens when their paths cross? 
Neither could ever have imagined that something as simple as a thunderstorm could change their lives forever.

They must learn to accept themselves by accepting each other. But mistakes are made.
