When Olympic medalist Sofia Bekatorou reveals her rape by a powerful figure
within the Hellenic Sailing Federation, it sparks Greece’s #MeToo movement
and turns her into a national symbol for abuse victims.

When Olympic medalist Sofia Bekatorou reveals her rape by a powerful figure within the Hellenic Sailing Federation, it sparks Greece’s #MeToo movement and turns her into a national symbol for abuse victims. Inspired by Sofia, sailing champion Amalia decides to seek justice for herself – she was systematically abused by her coach between the ages of 11 and 13. As Sofia champions legal reforms to empower abuse victims, Amalia takes her abuser to court in what becomes Greece’s first #MeToo trial. With deep compassion, the film follows the two women for two years as they navigate this seismic shift.
