Over forty and feeling disconnected, Sonja, a Danish translator of Swedish crime novels, seeks to reclaim her sense of self amidst the bustling anonymity of Copenhagen. Far from the rural tranquility of her Jutland roots, she struggles with her newly acquired driving lessons, her hidden battle with vertigo, and the growing chasm between her and her sister. With each driving lesson under the critical eye of her instructor, Sonja's inability to shift gears becomes a metaphor for her stunted progress in life. The captivating landscapes of her youth call to her, but the return to a changed homeland filled with whooper swans and endless skies is fraught with the realization that one cannot simply reverse into the past. Caught between the alienation of city life and the yearning for a simplicity long gone, Sonja's journey is an introspective odyssey to steer her life in a direction where she is in control, learning that the road back to oneself is fraught with detours and the unexpected.
