Story
Liv, a young woman in her early twenties, leads a seemingly conventional life working at her family's greengrocer business and living close to her parents. Unexpectedly, she falls in love with Andrea, a vibrant older woman who has taken refuge at her uncle's apple plantation due to heartbreak disguised as stress. Liv's relationship with Andrea triggers a series of events: it leads to her parents' divorce, the loss of an unspecified friendship, and ultimately causes an identity crisis that threatens their love. However, in rebellion against her parents' expectations, Liv comes to realize that love can take many forms and that family structures are not rigid.
