Synopsis

15-year-old student Lyz is the rising star of the French skiing scene. She will likely make the national Olympics team, and her passion to win is matched by the dedication of her coach, Fred. Under his influence, Lyz will have to endure more than the physical and emotional pressure of the training.

Our take

Zigzagging between ambitious determination, adrenaline highs, and the too-intense attention of her wolfish coach, a fearless skier accelerates until she is sent into crushing freefall. With a champion performance from up-and-comer Noée Abita, there are shades of Fish Tank in this accomplished debut.
