Clara is a tall black-caribbean origin girl disappointed with her first red-haired british boyfriend, who treacherously converted to her mother's Jehovah sect. That's when Archibald Jones comes into her life, an older man whom she meets during a hippie new year's eve party, the day after Archie attempted suicide by carbon dyoxide intoxication inside his car in the middle of nowhere ("nowhere", here , means London's ugliest suburbs...), after a disturbing divorce from an italian woman. Clara's father has been a paralised mumb for years, a home statue sitting on the couch for days with his mouth open, dribbling while watching tv. So for Clara, who wants to run away from her ex, Archie becomes the perfect refuge, a protection, an older male figure, the possibility to own her own apartment and to have a "home". And for Archie, an average man, Clara represents the youth's freshness, but something else. Clara will join two indian women related with Archie's best friend to start wondering and to unite on the path of building their own destinies.
