A fast moving, introspective, character driven story set in the early 1970s. Daniela, young and beautiful, burns her bridges, leaves her country carrying a red suitcase, an aching heart, driven by a dream of finding a home, a future and a life in London.
It takes a long time to get over being left by the man you love. Daniela, bright but somewhat naïve, takes the drastic measure of leaving her country and traveling through Europe to make a new life in London.
Faced with challenges, far harder than she anticipated, she perseveres, finds a new path to follow and learns to trust and love again. But just when she starts to feel secure, a succession of tragedies befalls her.
She learns about herself and about the new world she has chosen to live in, observing English society as only an outsider can, overcoming challenges in order to achieve her dream.
Daniela's journey with a colourful cast of characters, is played out against the rich tapestry of the seventies, with its music, fashion and drugs, sexual freedom and the liberating new way of life.
