Synopsis
Luna rebels against the indifference of her artsy friends by writing a punk song about Laugo, the construction worker from across the street. The song goes viral and she decides to get to know him. When he stumbles into her reckless world with flowers in his hands Luna and her friends are amazed by his natural naive honesty. Will the clashing worlds of affluent neglect and working life lead to the collapse of their romance?
