Stefania, nicknamed Nia in her childhood, emerges from a 15-year-long traumatic amnesia. She confronts the overwhelming memories of her childhood spent in Romanian hospitals due to a misdiagnosis. At 33 years old, she finds herself on the brink of an identity and existential crisis and undertakes an inner exploration through various bodily practices (contemporary dance, sensitive movement) and by taking refuge in her own imagination. The film accompanies her in this path of making peace with her own past, her own body, a journey that is not at all linear.
