Olivia is a young fashion designer from a small town in southern Italy, engaged and tied to the traditions of her family's tailoring business. She moves to London for a year to study at a prominent fashion university. Her goal is to refine the technique she acquired following the teachings of her father, a tailor with three generations of tradition: but this experience will prove shocking, leading her to a radical change in life. Olivia is struck by the charisma of her mentor, the famous fashion designer Nina Clark, black and openly gay, finding herself in a vortex of unknown feelings. One evening Olivia and Nina, finding themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, are involved in a terrorist attack. Their shared near-death experience helps to create a privileged relationship between them. Nina, normally detached, reluctant to bind and with an iron-clad ethic when it comes to setting boundaries in relationships with students, is intrigued by the fresh spontaneity of Olivia's approach and her vision of sustainability and gender fluidity in fashion. Their shared commitment to making the fashion industry more inclusive of diversity and sustainable becomes the ground on which their feelings for each other deepen. But Nina is adamant in keeping the boundaries of their relationship within the ethical limits of mentor and student, or so it seems. Fate has a surprise in store for them. Family problems force Olivia to urgently return to Italy. Will they be able to fight against the physical distance and their insecurities, for the unspoken feelings they harbor for each other, without even knowing if they are reciprocated?
