Film Introduction
Ice dancers Olesia Karmi and Max Lindholm have committed their whole lives to figure skating, but after several demanding seasons their career ends in Olesia’s injury. Suddenly they're left with nothing. Max finds a new path for his life quickly, but Olesia struggles to cope without ambitions and goals.
