Synopsis
Manon Apithy-Brunet won the gold medal at the Paris Olympics, becoming the first French woman to become an Olympic sabre champion.
To achieve this triumph, one needs preparation of the highest caliber, and this film follows her throughout the months leading up to her victory, particularly within the Cercle d’Escrime Orléanais, a true institution in the world of fencing, alongside Christian Bauer, the most decorated coach in the world.
Behind the mask is a hypersensitive woman whose daily life is a constant struggle to tame this flaw that sometimes becomes her strength.
