Laura, born and grown up in a metropolitan city, meets Brian who has been brought up on the tiny Mediterranean island of Gozo, "the island where time stood still", as its slogan goes in travel brochures. Both are convinced their relationship is more than just a holiday fling. Giving up her city life for a future together with Brian in Gozo, Laura soon learns that an every-day life in a holiday resort differs widely from spending a couple of weeks’ vacation in the same place. Under mysterious circumstances, Laura finds a friend for life, although she takes her time to realise it.
