Based on real events. Some names and details have been changed.
This is a story of how a coach pulled nine teenage girls forward - some from nothing, others from promise - and of how war later crushed everything they built.
Part 1 - 1980s, Soviet Ukraine
A girls' rowing team trains to win.
They push harder. Dream bigger.
And they are watched.
Always watched.
Their coach is young, ambitious... and an officer of the Soviet secret police-the KGB.
He believes he understands control.
He is wrong.
Part 2 - 2022
They are no longer girls.
They have families. Homes. Lives they built.
Then the war comes.
