Abandoned at the age of six months by her mother, Norah, 17, lives alone with her father.
Norah feels responsible for all the misfortunes of the world, especially the death of a rally driver, which she followed live on television. Driven by a strong sense of guilt, Norah has maintained a special relationship with him ever since and has actively engaged in humanitarian aid.
Norah’s well-oiled life is turned upside down the day her maternal grandmother, of whom she was unaware, comes into her life. Coming straight from Portugal, she gives him a small inheritance and especially the address of his mother in Switzerland!
From missed acts to clumsiness, from confrontations to disappointments, Norah’s life becomes a hell. She then understands that she has no choice but to face her past.
It is in the Swiss mountains that Norah, once and for all, settles her accounts with her mother, with “her” rally driver and with herself.
