Review of Olga

Film about Olga, a young woman athlete who is on verge of being selected for the Ukraine national gymnastics team, but gets the opportunity to take out Swiss nationality and train in Switzerland instead - her now-dead dad was Swiss. Her mum is an investigative journalist exposing corruption in the government and we see her survive an assassination attempt while she's taking her daughter out for an evening. Olga goes to Switzerland, becomes Swiss, but is then transfigured by the unfolding political crisis in her home country and doesn't know where she belongs any more. Lots of hard-to-watch gymnastic training.

Watched at Lansdown Film Club, and I knew it was good because I forgot about how uncomfortable the seats were.
