Two star-crossed strangers and one raging pandemic… is this a recipe for love or disaster?
While the global Covid-19 pandemic ranges on, Othman, a young man from Morocco, is finding ways to process his grief after the virus has taken the lives of his father and now his mother.
But just before her untimely passing, Othman’s mother tasked him with finding her long-long stepbrother and giving him a gift from her. Othman is determined to fulfil his mother’s dying wish but does not hold out much hope of finding this mystery stepbrother.
Far away from her native Morocco, Aya is desperate to get out of lockdown in Madrid and return to her home country to be with her ill grandfather.
Through a series of unbelievable coincidences, Othman and Aya get to know each other virtually and start to fall in love. But their relationship takes an odd turn when they realize that Othman’s mother’s stepbrother and Aya’s grandfather may in fact be the same man.
Othman is able to help Aya get to Morocco to be by her grandfather’s side, and he decides to make a surprise visit so the two of them can finally meet in person. However, after Aya’s grandfather’s condition worsens, Aya starts to push Othman away and the two young lovers seem destined to fail.
Will Othman and Aya be able to overcome their trauma and losses, and save their fledgling relationship? Or will the global pandemic claim their love before it has even begun?
