Switzerland, 1960s. Cosette Québatte is a young girl with a big dream: to become a cyclist. However, competitive cycling for women is prohibited, as it is considered a male-only discipline. The "Jurassic" girl, however, refuses to give up and fights to do what she loves: pedaling hard and challenging her own limits. Unaware, she has thus broken down a wall of discrimination, paving the way for others.
