We’re bringing Elie Grappe’s multi-award-winning drama Olga to Cineworld cinemas for Charity Fundraising Previews on Sunday March 27. From each ticket sold, 100% of Cineworld’s proceeds will go to Ukraine via The Disasters Emergency Committee.
The film follows a talented teenage Ukrainian gymnast exiled in Switzerland who dreams of winning the Olympic gold. Fifteen-year-old Olga is trying to fit in with her new team in her new home but as she prepares for the European Championship, the Ukrainian people stage a revolution. Olga is left a powerless, distant bystander as her mother, an investigative journalist, faces danger as she challenges a brutal regime. Can Olga reconcile her personal goals with the history unfolding in her homeland?
Don’t miss this subtle, tensely handled tale of exile reflecting the pressures on young athletes, the clash between the personal and the political, and a young woman’s search for who she is and what she is prepared to sacrifice. A brilliant combination of a coming-of-age drama, sports film and political thriller, Olga couldn’t be more relevant at this moment in history.
