Summary

Sara is a twenty-eight-year-old office worker in Genoa whose life revolves around work. One Friday evening, completely absorbed in urgent emails on her laptop, she misses her bus stop and ends up in an unfamiliar neighborhood. With forty-five minutes until the next bus, she discovers a charming yellow café and a beautiful hidden park with a pond and rose garden. During this unexpected detour, Sara experiences genuine relaxation for the first time in months, meeting friendly locals and finally disconnecting from work. The mistake becomes a gift, teaching her that sometimes getting lost helps you find exactly what you need, and she returns home with a new perspective and plans to intentionally explore the city she's lived in for five years.
