Story

Between family and best friend: a woman fights to find out the truth. Lawyer Clara learns from her best friend Leonie that she was the victim of sexual violence at the hands of her ex-lover. Clara advises her to pursue the matter with maximum energy. Then she is shocked to discover that the lover was her own father, the well-known musician Carsten Andersen. A social media post by Leonie makes the case a public scandal. Clara is faced with an intense inner conflict during which her doubts grow: was it really rape? Or is a spurned lover out for revenge? A maelstrom of feelings and apparent truths dissolves everything that had hitherto seemed certain.
