A mysterious package falls into the hands of Ada, a renowned journalist living in Hamburg. It is a book with memories written under a pseudonym by a woman who was molested by her father as a child, with a personal dedication to Ada. The journalist decides to meet the author, who turns out to be her former school friend – Roksana. Together they set off on a journey to the town where they grew up to confront Roksana's mother, a silent witness to her childhood hell. Once there, however, it turns out that her mother stubbornly guards family secrets, maintaining the image of an ideal husband and family. Ada decides to describe this complicated and intriguing story in a report, although for her, in reality, Roksana's topic is not the most important one on the journey. She also has to come to terms with the demons of the past – they are the ones that prevent her from moving forward in her relationship with her partner, with whom she is heavily pregnant. The emotions between the heroines thicken, and Ada finds it increasingly difficult to keep her distance and assess what is a lie and what is the truth.
