The two soon form a bond through music, rekindling their passion for life. Like the partition between the two units is no barrier against the flow of music, social isolation does not bar the growing affection between them.

Meeting regularly, sometimes weekly, four writer/directors and a digital 3D artist created short films designed to work both as standalone projects and, when inter-cut, as one cohesive story, despite being filmed in Germany, the UK and Malta, and with the filmmakers never having met in person until after the films were finished.
