May mga sandali na kapag pagod ka na sa pagsusulat ng assignments, pagtitipa sa keyboard ng laptop, pagbabasa ng libro at panghihina sa pagtatrabaho, mapagtatanto mo na nakatitig ka na lang sa labas ng bintana.
For Louana Denise Soliman, looking out the window is more than a pause for rest. It is a quiet moment of recognition of seeing the beauty of life unfolding just beyond reach.
Despite the world's failures, mistakes, and wrongs, she never saw it as flawed. Except for herself, as the one whom everyone expects to be perfect, the student who cannot falter.
Gusto rin niyang mapasama sa mundong tanggap ang magkamali, magreklamo at matalo. The world where stumbling is not failure, where asking for help is not weakness, and where failing a test does not measure your success.
Alone in her room, she notices Arvid Lonzo (Alon) Peralta, a dancer and civil engineering student with a contagious smile and playful jokes. Despite the hundreds of girls who admire him, he looks back at her as though she is the one being admired from the window.
In the fragile and quiet moments they shared with each other, he makes space for everything she has been taught to hide. Her mistakes, her failures, her tears. All.
But then the world intervenes.
It's as if the windows close around them, forcing them to see each other in isolation. That life they've been imagining together and the world they thought they shared is impossible.
