Milan, 2020. Drawn abruptly from his reclusive life in London for a friend's funeral, Frank finds himself in the eye of a pandemic he had barely registered on the news. From the relative comfort of his balcony at Hotel Milano, he surveys the train station across the piazza, but feels himself remote from it all. Then, one night, the sound of a child's footsteps leads him to discover a family sheltering secretly above him: a family who need his help. Set during the first days of lockdown in Europe.
