Mira approaches ice hockey with the same discipline she brings to the family vineyard: control is how she keeps everything moving. Captaincy offers an outlet for pressure, but it does not free her from responsibilities at home. The arrival of Theresa, a new player with a much less rigid attitude, interrupts that balance. Attraction and nights out in Vienna draw Mira toward experiences she cannot organize in advance, while her brother’s return brings another challenge to the rules she lives by. Clara Stern’s romance follows a young woman learning to distinguish dependability from confinement, with the team and the city offering different ways to risk losing her footing.
