Victoria is in a wheelchair and has problems speaking. When she meets her assistant Ida’s boyfriend, Victoria’s longing for love, tenderness and sex grows stronger. Ida helps her to set up a profile on Tinder and soon a match is made with Håkan. This plunges Ida into intense inner struggles, especially as this Håkan doesn’t look at all like a suitable man for Victoria in her opinion. An excellently narrated and brilliant contribution to the autonomy of people with disabilities.
