PREMIER (HUNGARY): 2006.
After Miklós Dongó’s highly promising gymnastic career gets cut sadly short by an injury, he decides to make the move to Canada to rebuild his life as a coach. His very different background and particular style mean he may never be able to fit in as he faces a great deal of challenges in this world, which is so very new to him. There is a lot to get through if he is to win his battle with his past and a joyless childhood confined within the four walls of a gymnasium.
