寝耳に水。突然降って湧いたような話にびっくり。いつの間にこんなプロジェクトが進行していたのか、映画化決定のことすら知らなかった。オランダの映画祭で17日にワールドプレミアされるこの映画、日本でも観る機会はあるのだろうか？

Synopsis

"You’re not a human being, you’re an athlete," 20-year-old Rita is told by one of her two merciless coaches. She's preparing to represent Russia in rhythmic gymnastics at the Olympics in Brazil. The training is harsh, particularly in mental terms. However gracefully Rita catches rings or rolls a ball across her shoulders, her coaches expect more from her, time and again. Warmth and solace come in her scant free time, when she talks with her boyfriend on Skype or hangs out with her parents. Over the Limit shows how the Russian system for training athletes transgresses boundaries. The film focuses on Rita’s state of mind—she seems to be perpetually on the verge of tears. The subtle editing and effective sound design allow us to feel her despair and pain, as well as the intense pressure she's living under. Fortunately, the end comes as a relief.

Synopsis

Over the Limit shows how the successful Russian system for training athletes transgresses boundaries. Elite rhythmic gymnast Rita Mamun has reached a crucial moment in her career. She’s soon to retire, but has one final goal set out for her: winning Olympic gold. The immense pressure on the young athlete is palpable in every frame. A nail-biting behind-the-scenes drama about the intense physical and mental labor put into a sport that thrives on its beautiful aesthetics.
