About
Figure skater Ksenia returns to her hometown to finally find out the truth about the tragedy of a decade ago, when her figure skating partner died. Having become a children's coach at the same sports school, she quickly realizes that behind the brilliance of "elite sports" there is still silence, pressure and fear. Coaches maintain the illusion of well-being, parents nod approvingly from the stands, and children's destinies continue to break under the weight of other people's ambitions. In this world, injuries are inherited, and every family has secrets they don't want to talk about out loud. And it is among these carefully hidden "skeletons in the closet" that the answer lies — the one that Ksenia has been afraid of all these years.
