Plot/Synopsis:
Having suffered as a boy under a brutal Communist-era coach, champion Hungarian gymnast Miklos moves to Calgary years later in search of a new start – only to find himself unwittingly perpetuating the very same cycle of abuse. Redemption appears in the unlikely form of Kyle, a troubled young Canadian teen with the potential to become a world champion, and the friendship and rivalry between teacher and student – each played by actual gymnasts – forms the basis of this gripping, uncommonly resonant sports drama. Beautifully shot and edited, effortlessly evoking its respective time-periods, and through them, the clash of different cultures and values.
One does not have to be a gymnastics fan to like this movie, but if one is, then the scenes of practice and competition are a real bonus.
The actor in the main role of Dongo (Zoltan Miklos Hajdu) is the director’s brother and a professional gymnast.
Brutal at times, this movie shows how over the years abuse is handed down from one to another.
