A intimate portrait of a young athlete caught between personal ambition and the weight of her homeland's political upheaval, exploring displacement, duty, and the impossibility of remaining untouched by history.

2013. Exiled in Switzerland, Olga, a talented and passionate 15-year-old Ukrainian gymnast, is trying to secure a place in the National Sports Centre. But the Euromaidan revolt erupts in Kyiv, and suddenly her loved ones are involved. While the girl is adapting to her new country and preparing for the European Championships, the Ukrainian revolution makes its way into her life, and nothing will ever be the same again.
