Olga

Olga, a single parent, is a gymnast on the Ukrainian national team. At the age of fifteen, she is in a critical period of training for the Olympics. Her mother, a journalist, was targeted by pro-Russian Prime Minister's men for criticizing national corruption. For the sake of Oga's life safety and gymnastics career, she was sent to Switzerland alone for training. Life in a different place is not easy, and new teammates join forces to exclude them. At this time, the peaceful demonstration in the square of Kiev in his hometown has become increasingly violent due to the government's violent suppression. However, his mother has lost contact with her at this moment... Emerging French director Eli Grapp directed the film for the first time. He chose real young athletes as the protagonists and successfully captured the heroic posture of the girl swinging on the gymnastics bar with a large number of intimate follow-up shots. Many breath-taking exciting events are interspersed with real scenes of protests; the loneliness of young athletes leaving their hometowns, and the national pain that tears apart the people are mutually exclusive, adding up to the weight of youth.
