Her comfortable life is shattered, when her teenage son Mark gets accused of sexual assault by a class mate. Convinced of her sons innocence Aida starts to investigate on her own against the wishes of her husband and the police. During her search for the truth she encounters a wall of silence, envy and deep seated prejudice – and finally has to accept a heartbreaking reality.
