Richie is 40, unemployed, and dating a famous underwear brand model.
Lana is 40, has her own software developing company, Mercedes Cabrio, living in a villa in Rome... and single.
It seems that, except for their age, these two people have nothing in common.
But when one day, a month after his 40th birthday, a mysterious woman shows up on Richie's door, his hitherto peaceful life is just about to turn upside down...
When she turns 40 a realizes that all her friends are happily married and are having/expecting children, while she is still a lonewolf with nobody by her side, Lana remembers a deal she made with one of her teenage loves, many many years ago. They made a 'pact' - that if they're both single by the time they're both 40, they will just get married to each other. And showing up on a guy's door 20 years later and offering him a proposal seems like a completely right thing to do... But can 20 years really be erased like they have never passed? And can some promise we made when we were still young and carefree, endure through all these years?

the road to where
February 1993 • Milan, Italy ᥫ᭡ Marisa, twenty something, brimming with ambition, is en route to France for work. She works in publishing, and maybe this promotion that's on the horizon will finally be the golden ticket that spirals her into a better life. But the universe makes other plans for her. Plans in the form of airport chaos and a man who looks like he was designed in a lab for the sole purpose of being her next romantic distraction. Decorated with an ambiguous accent and just enough aloofness to be irritating... or maybe just French. And of course, she finds him at the very moment she's trying (and failing) to locate both her inner peace and her passport. Marisa is not the type to fall for foreigners in international terminals. She's a pragmatist with a healthy mistrust of attractive men with high cheekbones and sultry eyes who smell faintly of mystery. And yet, there's something about this stranger, something infuriatingly magnetic, that irremediably pulls her in... until a connection forms. But wait for the moment she realises that maybe he was too good to be true, and that she should've just listened to her gut and not bet a single paper clip on that handsome stranger. What follows is not love at first sight. It's far messier than that. It's stolen glances and shared silences. It's the kind of connection that makes just five minutes apart feel too long. Emotionally constipation at its finest. The kind of thing that's definitely not love... until it inconveniently is. Is it? I don't know. So, sit back. Buckle in. And prepare for turbulence. Not just the kind that rattles the plane, but the kind that stirs something deeper. This isn't just a story about almost missed flights and found people.
