Film Synopsis
In the eastern French town of Colmar, 15-year-old Sarah Ivanov is determined
to make her name as a figure skating champion. To get there, she must
submit herself to an intensive training schedule, coached by a man named
Xavier who seems to take a sadistic delight in bullying and insulting the
aspiring skaters. Sarah's desires to succeed in her sport are threatened
by her naturally rebellious temperament and the adolescent upheavals to which
all girls of her age are prone.
The twin ordeals of training to championship level and coping with the usual
teenage blues will test Sarah's personal resources to the limit, but she
is helped through this gruelling phase of her life by the friendships she
forges with other girls in her predicament. But then men suddenly enter
her life. The distraction of the opposite sex is one that Sarah is
ill-prepared for, and this may be enough to scupper her dreams of skating
glory for good...
