When her husband suddenly dies, former ski racer Andrea faces a completely different trauma when her neighbour takes advantage of her vulnerability and sexually harasses her. The police say there is no hope of pressing charges. It’s just like when she was raped as a teenager in her ski club and knew that the powerful Austrian Ski Association was laying a protective hand over the perpetrator. But in the meantime, #MeToo has reached Austria, prompting an increase in media reports about sexual assaults in sport. And when the Ski Association does not want to hear about the establishment of an ombudsman’s office for abuse victims, Andrea goes public with her story. Afterwards, she is hit by an avalanche of accusations and rejections. Her pregnant daughter Sara is shocked, while Andrea’s parents react with incomprehension at first. However, people start to voice their support and Sara slowly begins to understand that her mother is fighting for a much bigger cause.
