After getting sober, a woman leaves the Orkney Islands for Berlin to start over, navigating a brief, intense love affair and the compulsions of online life. When the relationship unravels, she confronts loneliness and homesickness, finding steadiness in walking the city, watching swifts, and tuning into seasonal rhythms. Her reflections explore the tension between digital immediacy and slow, embodied time, and the struggle to make a home in an unfamiliar place.
