Camelia is a young Italian woman who lives with her mother in Leeds, a city where it is always December and winter has been underway for such a long time that nobody is old enough to have seen what came before. She's dropped out of university and translates instruction manuals for an Italian washing machine manufacturer; her mother, Livia, spends her days inside taking photographs of holes she finds in the house. Things soon change for Camelia when she meets Wen, a shop owner who teaches her Chinese. This unusual love story is funny, unpredictable and perfectly bittersweet.
