在充滿不確定的宇宙中，這樣的確定感只會出現一次。法蘭切絲卡在小鎮上過著平凡人生。她是妻子、母親，是樸實的家庭主婦。過去她曾有夢，只是說服自己，所有的夢和現實相比都不切實際。只是，偶爾在鎮日忙碌的縫隙中，她會像突然抽離一般陷入思索：如果在另個平行宇宙，她會否擁有不同未來？這樣的未來就在某日翩然降臨。一名攝影師為了拍照前來問路，他像是一陣風，更猶如自由的化身，不偏不倚停在她家門口。在那個瞬間，她知道自己的人生已然改變。她欣然為他指路，邀他用餐留宿；他也應允邀約，帶著她享受人生，從不同角度看見世界。雖然兩人邂逅僅有四天，卻都很確定一件事：他們深深愛上彼此。然而她不能隨他遠走，因為自由是有代價的。她只能看著他離開，將這段感情深埋心中，一路帶入六尺之下......---我一直都在走向妳，而妳也一直在走向我，我們已經走了很久，雖然在我們相遇之前都不知道彼此的存在，但是在我們的無知之下，卻一直有一股無意識的篤定，發出愉悅的嗡鳴聲，就是要讓我們在一起，就像兩隻孤鳥受到天象的召喚，飛越過廣大的平...
