After meeting on a theatre research trip in Kyiv, Canadian Playwright Matthew Mackenzie and Ukrainian artist Mariya Khomutova spark up a romance, which takes them from the beaches of the Black Sea to the riverbanks of the North Saskatchewan River, through the onset of a global pandemic and the eruption of a brutal war, plus many moments of joy throughout, including marriage and the birth of their son.
