But Liv soon discovers she isn’t the only one in need of a new beginning. On their daily walks around the village, they meet Valentine, an old man who suffers from loneliness who sits by the window. And Stanley, a little boy who is scared of everyone, who hides behind the garden gate. And Maya, a teenager who is angry at everyone and everything. But slowly things start to change . . .
