Pain, fear, desire, the joy of victory and the bitterness of defeat: the official film of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Games, created by decree of the International Olympic Committee (Lausanne), gives the greatest world champions a human face. Gripping shots taken during the events alternate with interviews of worldwide legends in winter sports, who express their thoughts on sportsman’s role in the modern world, and also about war, patriotism, morals, and the ever-changing balance of femininity and masculinity in sport and in society.
