If history is written by the victors, where does that leave those who were never allowed to be part of the game? A collective of queer athletes enters the Olympic Stadium in Athens and sets out to honour those who were excluded from standing on the winners’ podium. They meet Amanda Reiter, a trans* marathon runner who has to struggle with the prejudices of sports organisers, and Annet Negesa, a 800m runner who was urged by the international sports federations to undergo hormone-altering surgery. Together they create a radical poetic utopia far from the rigid gender rules found in competitive sports.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
