After the death of her husband, former skier Andrea is confronted with many problems. The relationship with her parents and her daughter Sara has always been tense, and she has to cope with the loss of her partner alone. Traumatized and plagued by fears, she tries to cope with her everyday life. In the wake of the #MeToo wave, Andrea decides to give an interview about her time as a young professional skier. In this very personal interview, she records the monstrous power structures of the home management at the time and how the abuse between colleagues and coaches continued. In doing so, she unleashes a media avalanche to which her family also reacts with rejection. However, more and more people support the allegations. A story of liberation based on true events. A film about a remarkable woman. Persona Non Grata.
