with post-film Q&A with director Lesia Kordonets in-person
With the Russian annexation of Crimea, the Ukrainian
Paralympic National Team loses their training base overnight. The film follows
the team’s fight to qualify for the upcoming games under poor training
conditions. As borders shift and their personal and professional lives are
displaced, the athletes must push beyond not only physical limits but the
weight of political turmoil. (Ukraine/Switzerland,
2021, 102min., In Ukrainian & English | Dir. Lesia Kordonets)
