Synopsis

Parisa has spent two years training towards her goal: representing Iran as a fencer at the next Olympics. At the regional heats, however, she is suddenly told to fake an injury and withdraw from her next match because if she stages an injury, she will get a “nice reward”. If she doesn’t, the authorities may never let her compete again. But no reward could be enough for Parisa to give up her one shot at the Games.
