The raw, strenuous behind-the-scenes of professional sports is narrated through the stories of three female athletes competing in shooting, fencing, and judo. Written and directed by Giulio Bertelli, an architect turned filmmaker, the movie explores the dynamics of a fictional Olympic preparation, weaving in reflections on social, political, technological, and physical aspects. The director shaped the protagonists around the models of Joan of Arc, Cleopatra, and Russian officer Nadezhda Durova. These become the core of a visual narrative that blends physicality and virtuality, bordering on a nearly dystopian dimension.
