Story
Hannah is a young twenty-four-year-old girl who has always been a creative person and dreamed of becoming a famous writer. Once her parents deprive her of financial assistance, after which she is forced to survive on her own. But the problem is that she is looking for a new experience that you will not find in a standard job from eight in the morning until five in the evening. In addition, Hannah is a very non-standard person and it is vital for her to be able to articulate her thoughts and emotions, which she is trying to do without thinking about the feelings of others. In addition to all this, Hannah, as they say, has a boneless language, which is why she often has problems with her friends who, like her, do not grab stars from the sky ...
