Erik & Erika tells the story of sports legend Erik Schinegger, who won the world downhill skiing title for Austria in 1966. But what he actually won was the medal in the women's downhill. Only during the medical examinations for the Olympic Games two years later, a chromosome determination was made to determine the doping test, which showed that Erika is actually male. The film describes the process of the athlete's inner and outer acceptance and follows him through the ups and downs of his life - before and after the news that changed everything.
