<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\n| 2021\u00a0 \u2013\u00a0 85′\u00a0 – Drama, Coming of Age – A Switzerland\/France Co-Production Olga is a driven 15-year-old gymnast training for the Olympics in Kiev in 2013. Her mother is an outspoken journalist with their dictatorial President Yanukovych in her crosshairs. As a result, both of their lives are in danger. So, Olga is sent off to the safe haven of Switzerland, with the hope of joining the Swiss Olympic team. Almost documentary-like in its realism,\u00a0Elie Grappe\u2019s riveting portrait of a determined young athlete, set against the backdrop of a revolution unfolding in Ukraine, is as much a balletic ode to the passion and discipline of athletes everywhere, as an exploration of the profound, unyielding power of national identity.\u00a0<\/span><\/em> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OLGA | 2021\u00a0 \u2013\u00a0 85′\u00a0 – Drama, Coming of Age – A Switzerland\/France Co-Production France\/Switzerland.
