Out of shame, pity and a longing for purpose, a young soldier feigns feelings for a disabled woman, even fueling her hope of walking again. But her growing distrust and his obsession with curing her create a frenetic spiral that drags everyone into misfortune.

Set in Switzerland, our story follows Ayaneh, a young refugee from Afghanistan. One day at a public swimming pool she meets Anna and instantly feels attracted to her. As the relationship between the two women develops, Ayaneh is confronted with growing resistance from her religious family.
