Living together changes when new roommates move in. The unknown can change everything, but also for the better. Every now and then, however, it is also fleeting acquaintances that can influence our lives and have a lasting impact.

THE ROOMS WE SHARE

Hannah and her family take Ukrainian Yulia into their home. But instead of settling in, she is barely present and stays away from the family. Hannah shows little understanding for this.
