Absolutely fantastic film. I didn't expect such a quality of production, direction and acting from a relatively small budget film. All the characters, even the minor ones, are authentically portrayed. The first quarter is full of graphic sex scenes that may not be to everyone's taste, as expected from the plot, but then the plot takes a comic turn and the real magic begins. Those who understand Russian will enjoy it even more, because the dialogues are interwoven with Russian language discourse and slang. The character of Toros, played by the Armenian-American actor Karren Karagulian, is amusing, cynical, and definitely gives the viewer pure pleasure.

I recommend viewers after the film to go to Wikipedia and read about the reality of the real life of the actress who wonderfully portrays the coach Amir Zar Ebrahimi, and also co-director with Guy Nativ in this film. It can be said that the judoka in the film tells the story of her own experiences after she was forced to flee Iran at the last minute to France, after the authorities wanted to imprison her for 6 years, 99 lashes, and a ban on working as an actress in the country, because of her alleged sex tape that was leaked to the net. The film accurately depicts reality The insanity of a country, which also pushes its sports into a corner through mental and physical pressure, as happened to the athlete who dared to compete without a head covering and "disappeared". The film is a message to the degenerate and hypocritical world of who Iran is since the Islamic revolution, what is the fate of women in the country and how at the end of the day They look to the side and do not help the women there.
