When 43 year old Australian anthropologist, Luca Santorini is invited to be a guest speaker at the Department of Social Anthropology at Cambridge University, he decides to extend his stay in England before returning to the remote secure world in which he lives and works, a place where he is cut-off from civilisation; the environment in which he thrives. When Lana Milton, middle-aged and recently single after escaping from a long and mentally-destructive relationship, goes shopping in Cambridge she has no intention of returning home with anything other than a piece of sculpture from one of the galleries. Their chance meeting renews emotions into both their lives. Brief and intense; their time together nourishes them with potent implications which serves to resuscitate their very different lives.
