A warm, character-driven romantic comedy-drama about two wounded people finding unexpected connection and mutual healing through everyday kindness.

Louise, a widow with two children, almost crushes a stranger with her car. She takes care of him, even if he's not really wounded. It turns out that he has mental disorders and that they can help each other much more than they thought.
