The Olympic Games in Sochi were the most expensive Olympic event in history whose grand scale aimed to demonstrate the power of Putin’s Russia. Their splendour can be seen in Sergey Miroshnichenko’s film showing thorough preparations, beautiful landscape and spectacular, breathtaking shots of sport disciplines. Against this background, Olympians shine even more when they dream about medals, overcome their own fear and weaknesses and elevate the spirit of sport to take it above social and political divisions.
