Repousser les frontières
Réalisation
Lesia KORDONETS
In 2014, the Winter Paralympic Games took place at the same time as the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. Following five Ukrainian athletes forced to adapt their personal and professional lives to the armed conflict, the film is a reflection on the capacities of humans to push the boundaries between two countries, and those of their own body.
