“Even if you never liked figure skating, take a look! Because this is not a story about places, medals, or a sporting desire to be the best we can be, but a piercing cry about our desire to be. When pain breaks through the ice, when the whole world gives a standing ovation, when you can’t even breathe from the misfortune raining down on us with bombs, rockets and “hail”, when there are not athletes or artists on the ice, but people who tell the story of the suffering and struggle of their country.
