Guts

GUTS is a dark, psychological drama thriller about women’s elite skiing team and the price of dreams. When one of the skiers, ADA, 28, vanishes to thin air just before a race, the team’s formidable queen MARIA, 28, is lost without her counterpart. ANNA, 30, an eternal underdog, knows her time has come. She will take Ada’s place, and finally rise among the stars. Anna’s relentless pursuit for success leads her down a path that strains relationships and tests her morality, while Maria’s unshakable confidence begins to waver.  As training sessions blend with personal struggles, GUTS paints a poignant portrait of dreams, sacrifice, and the complexities of ambition.
