Sara says that anorexia took away 8 years of her life. And she is aware that this is the last moment when she can really change something. She takes the opportunity of staying at a closed facility for girls and women with eating disorders. During comprehensive psychotherapy the protagonist tries to work over her problems and improve her relations with family members. Above all, she wants to recover so that she can continue to live and fulfill her dreams about her private life. The film is an intimate recording of this process.
