Olga, a talented teenage Ukrainian gymnast exiled in Switzerland, trying to fit in with her new team in her new home. But as she prepares for the European Championships, the Ukrainian people stage a revolution. Olga is left a powerless, distant bystander as her mother, an investigative journalist, faces danger as she challenges a brutal regime. Can Olga reconcile her personal goals with the history unfolding in her homeland? A subtle, tensely handled tale of exile reflecting the pressures on young athletes, the clash between
the personal and the political, a young woman’s search for who she is and what she is prepared to sacrifice.
