A happy relationship, a steady job, a cozy sofa... Everything seems perfect in Marieke's life - until she finds herself alone on New Year's Eve with seventeen moving boxes in a strange apartment. Back to square one? That’s not how Marieke envisioned it. Her sister, a couples therapist, is there to fix the relationship; her best friend is for reorganizing. Marieke herself doesn’t know what she wants. On her journey to find out, she receives support from her new neighbors: Susann, the seamstress from the side wing, her friend Nada, who transforms the backyard into a blooming paradise, and the old Mrs. Schröder from across the street, who bets on love. As zucchinis flood the house, cornflower islands appear in the sea of streets, and a nameless dog wins her heart, Marieke begins to put down roots. And the more vibrant and colorful her life becomes.
