While young and in her prime, Nadia (Katerine Savard) decides to retire from pro swimming after the Olympic Games to escape a rigid life of sacrifice. After her very last race, Nadia drifts into nights of excess punctuated by episodes of self-doubt. But even this transitional numbness cannot conceal her true inner quest: defining her identity outside the world of elite sports.

Originally brought in as a consultant for the film, two-time Olympian Katerine Savard portrays Nadia, with her real-life training partner, Ariane Mainville, cast as Marie-Pierre. With her lived experience as an Olympic athlete behind her, Savard truly brings Nadia to life, resulting in a raw and honest portrayal of a woman in the throes of competitive sports.
