The film explores the consequences of sexual violence through a series of intimate testimonials, revealing the culture of indifference and lack of understanding, which affect the victims but shield the perpetrators, raising the question of what it means to heal and whether that is even possible. Drawing the strength to make the film from empathy, at the same time the director struggles with her own experience of sexual assault, experienced as a young actress in Serbia. Since she was not able to speak freely about the abuse she experienced, she finds the courage to share her story through encounters and interviews with other victims like herself.
