When your life is a big open sky just waiting for you to let go and jump, and it feels like anything is possible. And it really is. And you really do jump. And for a time it feels like you’re flying, even as you fall.

It’s all about love. Crazy, heart-breaking, rest-of-your-life-defining love. Sisters Mielie and Mare, in their early twenties in Cape Town in the mid-1990s, stand on the edge of everything they’ve dreamed of and also yet to imagine.

Mielie feels happier when there’s a script to follow. Mare’s making it up as she goes along. Both follow their hearts, in different directions, to different lives with different friends and lovers in different cities on different continents Of course nothing goes as hoped or planned. But it’s their letters to each other, through all of it, that frame who they’re becoming and remind them who they are.
