Mariia Ponomarova set out to make a film about a spirited Ukrainian cheerleading team of women over 50, united by their passion for performing and a determination to defy stereotypes about aging. But when Russia invades, the film took a different turn. Veteran team member Sveta and her family decide to leave Kharkiv and find refuge in the Netherlands. Close to 6 million Ukrainians have similarly made the difficult decision to leave since the start of the war including over 200,000 who have come to Canada. Seen mainly through Sveta's perspective, this captivating film highlights the resilience of the women, and the strength of their bond even when they are separated by war. Canadian broadcast premiere.
