With a storyline which touches on the book Love Virtually by Daniel Glattauer and Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, it is essentially about two older adults, Alexander and Maria, who looking for acceptance, adoration and fulfillment, befriend each other across Twitter; a platform they are both new to.
Alexander is locked in a loveless, cold marriage and has always hidden from life behind his Cerebral Palsy, though he may not have realised this until he meets Maria.
Maria, a single mother to teenager Natalie, is still reeling from her husband’s gambling and abandonment from years ago.
The messaging between them both builds momentum; Alexander is physically attracted to Maria and she is drawn in by his intellect and poetic prose, as well as being a little inquisitive about his condition.
They quickly engage in an all-consuming online relationship and eventually meet in London. Their physical attraction becomes real and emotions are high.
They both want to find a way to be together and a shocking revelation by his wife, Sandra, initially confuses Alexander’s decision to leave.
And Maria faces a complication too when Natalie reveals she is pregnant.
Will the time to be together be right for them?
