Summary:

Amber is in a 'slump' that has now lasted four years. Her office job is sleep-inducingly boring and she barely gets around to her true passion, drawing and painting. Not to mention love at all... Meanwhile, everyone around her seems to be living their best life. Like her sister, Nathalie, who has it all figured out with a perfect family life. And her brother Sebastiaan, who is madly in love and wants to introduce his new girlfriend to his parents and sisters during a family weekend in the woods.

On the way to the Veluwe, Amber's luck suddenly seems to turn. She meets the charming Marijn, and for the first time in a long time, she feels a spark of hope again. A twinkle. And that gets even stronger when she says goodbye with Marijn's phone number in her contacts list. On cloud nine, she arrives at the cottage her parents rented for the long weekend. But then... it turns out that the new girlfriend Sebastiaan wants to introduce to them is none other than that very same Marijn.
