It is night in Heaven Meadow, on the outskirts of Vienna. Injured and barefoot, Maya runs back home, to the city center. The next day, she spontaneously travels to Italy, to her boyfriend Daniel. There, she hopes to forget. To find herself, between distance and the closeness. She hopes not to be a victim again. Maya tries to suppress, so that she does not have to remember. She tells lies to escape the truth. Maya keeps the secret even from Daniel, to whom she apears different, new. Maya wants to regain control of her life. But instead, she keeps floating through the world like an unanchored island.
