Everyone talks about change; we live it. Change is movement, they say, change is inevitable; but in our cases it seemed that a lot changed too fast. Ira moved to a different country to basically start from scratch, Maria sold her company to have a fresh start. 

Alongside the fundamental questions of "what we are" and "where are we going", 2 good friends are now faced with another question — how to sustain old friendships and make new ones that would count. Shift Happens explores the art and heart of friendship, from its beginnings to its challenges.
