A coming of age drama follows four adolescents, outstanding athletes living and training at Israel's national sports Academy.
They are facing a system that pushes them to their limits while they question whether their youth isn’t being spent in vain.
The story shifts between exhausting training routine and painful injuries to sporting peaks only a few are blessed to experience.
But even when they hit rock bottom, what stops them from giving up is their fear of discovering that disillusionment from their dream will be much more painful than striving for it.
