We live in a society populated by strangers. Each day, we feel more distant from each other, more alone, all while being surrounding by millions.

The more we wait, the more everything--and everyone--looks like a grain of sand escaping between our fingers before vanishing into the wind. How do we find something--or someone-- we can no longer see, but which is right there before us? And how do we hold on to what is most precious in life?
