synopsis
Marisol is the national rhythmic gymnastics’ coach. She is methodical, controlling, demanding, and authoritarian. The World Championship is approaching, and she is pinning all her hopes for the gold medal on Angelica, the most promising newcomer on the team. Two weeks before the final, Marisol discovers that her husband is having an affair with a much younger woman with whom he is expecting a child. Marisol does not contemplate failure, so she begins a desperate race to win him back, disregarding his motives and feelings.
