A competitive sports drama centered on two elite fencers locked in a struggle for dominance that extends beyond the piste into their personal lives.

The film's two main protagonists are Russia's best saber fencers. One of them has long been in the limelight, the other only recently made it into the national team and has been winning almost every tournament since. The two athletes begin to fight for supremacy both on and off the arena.
