It is long overdue for Hannah to jump into the water and see where the current
leads. For years, she has catered to her two grown sons. One day, after picking
up her grandson at school, she stops alongside the river to watch some ice
swimmers. When a man named Brona waves in distress, she rushes into the water
to help. Her dip into the icy water just might change her life forever.

Gathering around one table every evening, a string quartet rehearses for another
concert. The somewhat incongruous foursome consists of an attractive cello
player, her “mommy dependent” boyfriend, a show off and an aging history expert.

risk. Will they be able to continue as a group or will they go their separate ways?

in the countryside. Told through the eyes of the young boy, the story reveals
adventure and friendship in extraordinary times.
