Throughout the film, Fasani faces repeated “blizzards” in her life, including identity shifts, childhood trauma, relationship struggles, and a breast cancer diagnosis. Over five years, raw and intimate footage reveals Fasani’s evolution as she navigates these storms. Join the ride as she works to maintain her place in snowboarding while striving to become the mother she aspires to be, shedding light on the complex balance of passion, career, and parenthood.
