DESCRIPTION

The film presents a decisive year in the life of Russian artistic gymnastick Margarita Mamun. Margarita's life chances are her performance at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games and perspective of winning a golden Olympic medal. Aesthetic performances in front of the audience are bought with murderous training. The film crew accompanies Margerita in her daily hard work. The director, Marta Prus, brings closer Margarita's unique relationship with two coaches, Amina Zaripova and Irina Viner. “Over the Limit” is an intimate drama of violent relations that lead to success.
