In exile in Switzerland, Olga, a 15-year-old Ukrainian gymnast, is torn between her irrepressible desire to take part in the European Championships and her growing fears for her family back in Kiev, who witnessed the Euromaidan uprising. Elie Grappe has produced a brilliant first film, driven by a powerful narrative and breathtaking formal virtuosity.
