Monday May 7, 1945 – the Second World War finally comes to an end and a new, brighter future beckons. In the midst of central Stockholm celebrations, two strangers come together with a quick kiss, parting company immediately after. Upper-class girl Nina and kitchen hand Calle don’t yet know that their brief encounter will come to have tumultuous consequences.

A fleeting kiss in the streets of post-war Stockholm ignites a lifelong collision between a privileged socialite and a humble kitchen worker. This sweeping period drama tracks how their accidental connection survives the rigid class divides of a changing world.
