The official synopsis reads:
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Switzerland’s Valais region, the film follows Jule (Ophélia Kolb), an eccentric and defiant single mother of three who’s had enough of playing by society’s rules. Crushed by past mistakes and disillusioned by a social welfare system that offers little compassion—or second chances—Jule fights to prove, both to her children and to herself, that she’s still a good person. As she navigates the line between resilience and self-deception, her journey becomes a powerful exploration of love, dignity, and the fierce determination to hold her family together against all odds.
