Since Nadia Comaneci no one has achieved a perfect ten in the demanding discipline of gymnastics. Although Leigh has no lack of skills, her lack of confidence, her unfriendly companions and her unstructured family weigh too heavily on her shoulders to go far. That's why when her stepbrother appears, she clings to him as a lifeline, as he's her only protection from the hostility of her lonely life. But his savior brings with him very bad friendships and vices, and the redemption he offers does not point to the best ways. (Seville European Film Festival)
