Five gymnasts from Izmir qualify for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, but an unprecedented obstacle stands in their way: the Covid-19 pandemic. In the first-ever postponed Games, they fight for their dreams and Turkey's first Olympic medal as they endure a tough year of quarantine, injuries and even earthquakes. Shot in black and white, the documentary captivates with aesthetic shots and impressively captures the protagonists' extraordinary journey and their challenges.
