Adina grows up in the Czech Giant Mountains, longing for faraway places from childhood on. In Berlin she meets a photographer who finds her an internship at a cultural centre in the Uckermark. There she is raped, and no one takes it seriously. Made invisible, she drifts until she ends up in Helsinki, where she meets an Estonian professor and member of the European Parliament who falls in love with her. While he campaigns for human rights, she looks for a way out of her inner exile, and layer by layer, what happened comes to light.
