A coming-of-age drama centered on a teenage figure skater navigating the tension between athletic ambition and adolescent desire, grounded in the physical beauty and emotional vulnerability of competitive sport.

Fifteen-year-old Sarah has returned to Colmar, where she has taken up high-performance figure skating and competition. The rivalry between the girls and the trainer's harsh words put her body to the test on the ice, while her adolescent desires distract her from her athletic ambitions.
