Maria has everything. She is a former elite swimmer, a beloved sports commentator, and lives a good life with her husband, Mikael, and their daughter. Mikael has been her support throughout her life as both her coach, mentor, and later her husband. But when Maria’s friend Janne who is also an editor, tells her about an upcoming book, everything changes. The book describes a young girl’s relationship with her swimming coach, and rumors suggest that it is about Mikael. At first, Maria dismisses it as fiction, but as the novel’s depiction of the girl’s misguided infatuation sparks strong public reactions, the story spreads and Maria is forced to re-evaluate her past. Is their relationship truly as simple and loving as she has always believed?
