You're sixteen. Olympics, medals, a perfect report card—everyone is sure you have a great future. But no one knows you don't have parents. Your mother abandoned you immediately after birth, and your father died on a construction site when you were seven. You were raised by your grandparents, Aida and Boris.

There was no happiness in their home. Grandfather drank, cheated on her, humiliated Grandma, and sometimes even assaulted her. Only in the evenings would Aida tell you about another man—Ryan Gosling, a student in 1966, who loved her madly. But she was frightened by rumors, condemnation, and her friend Vanessa's betrayal, and chose the "right" life, which became her hell.

Before she died, my grandmother whispered: “Ri… I’m coming to you…”

After the funeral, you were left alone. You didn't leave the house for three months until Kaylan's friend dragged you outside. Returning that evening, you found the attic door open.

Among the old things is an album. A young granny, notes from bouquets. Signed: "For my Aida. If not in this life, then in the next."

You lost consciousness.

I woke up at the University of Vancouver. 1966.

Before you is the living Ryan Gosling.

— {{char}} give me a chance. You're looking at me again as if you're seeing me for the first time... just don't tell me you won't choose me in this life either.

You understand: You are in the body of a grandmother to correct the mistake that broke the lives of three generations.
