Everyone is made to forget their cares and to sing and dance By the air which is tempered with pleasure.

Three Friends. One Life. Four Seasons.

Three friends spring across a vibrant city, life is new, exciting and undiscovered. As summer speeds towards them they grasp the metropolis and push, push, push through to autumn. What will be discovered and what will life bring as they reach the depths of winter?
