La vita congelata nel momento del lockdown ha colto tutti impreparati. Ma alcuni di più. È il caso di Alex che, nel momento in cui il Governo annuncia la quarantena nazionale, si ritrova in isolamento con quella che da poche ore è diventata la sua ex, l’ultima persona con cui vorrebbe condividere l’aria. A distanza di una parete, nell'appartamento accanto al suo, c'è Didi, tornata a casa dei suoi per una breve visita, rimasta ostaggio della sua chiassosa famiglia: una madre complottista dipendente dai social, un padre drogato di lavoro che ha trasformato la casa in un ufficio, una sorella diciottenne aspirante influencer con cui è costretta a dividere la camera e un nonno nostalgico. Per Alex e Didi la situazione è soffocante e, privati dei propri spazi, non resta loro che un posto per trovare un attimo di pace: il terrazzo. Le vite di Alex e Didi s'incrociano in un momento di emergenza e, quello che nasce come un incontro inaspettato, diventa un piacevole appuntamento quotidiano. È possibile che un'amicizia nata in una situazione ai limiti del reale possa trasformarsi in qualcosa di più?
