A nu-jazz trumpet player with a unique style, Martin constantly struggles against convention and mediocrity. He refuses to compromise in his music as well as in his love life. Martin is deeply hurt when he suspects that his girlfriend Kristina might only love him for his music talents. Saddened by this, he leaves her and his current life behind. Somewhere on the edge of society, he meets Hanna--she communicates with him in the shape of a series of poems. Martin is immediately fascinated. The question is whether her poems will help Martin in his self-discovery.
