Mirjam, a 19-year-old world champion freestyle disco dancer, seems to have a perfect life, representing her modern, evangelical church with pride. However, a sudden collapse during the dance world championships forces her family to suggest a greater focus on faith. Seeking answers and a sense of direction, she explores a stricter, more conservative church, hoping to find solace and understanding amidst personal struggles.
