Synopsis by Augustine Chay
Noée Abita, Jérémie Renier, and Marie Denarnaud star in director/co-writer Charlène Favier’s directorial debut. This sports drama is about Lyz (Abita), a talented 15-year-old skier, as she sets her sights on the Olympics under the guidance of Fred (Renier), her demanding coach. As she begins to taste athletic glory, their coach-athlete relationship becomes fraught with sexual predation and an asymmetrical power dynamic.
