In this winter tale with a hushed, haunting charm, an unexpected friendship changes the life of a lonely young woman in Stockholm.

Therese has just left the safety of her childhood home to begin a new life at Stockholm University. Her days are filled with nervousness, expectation, and loneliness. She rents a small room in the outskirts of the city, tries to carve out a place for herself in its vastness, and feels invisible in the lecture halls.

Everything changes when she meets Andreas. He dresses in black and carries himself with a blasé confidence. He also opens the door to another Stockholm, a world of literary fanzines, smoke-filled cafés, and late nights in an apartment on Kammakar Street. In the quiet, understated mystery between the city’s crowded throughfares and Kammakar Street’s desolation, a friendship begins to take shape, one that will come to define her life in many ways.
