ELITE
Fifteen-year-old elite gymnast Dagmar dreams of making the national team. However, during a crucial training camp, her confidence is shattered when she suddenly hesitates mid-air during a vault attempt, leading to a harsh fall. But it’s not the physical impact that lingers - it’s the mental block that follows, leaving her questioning everything she once knew about herself. Without her gymnastics identity, who is she?
