| | Notes | A young ice skater on her way to the top and the Olympics falls badly while skating. She has a blood clot on her brain which causes a degree of blindness. The film uses out of focus images to simulate her reduced vision. Seemingly stuck at home she becomes frustrated and (for some reason) looks a mess after previously being well coiffeured. But her dad who had before been a bit overpowering gets her back on the ice and her old boyfriend sticks by her. Eventually she re-enters competitive skating and there's a sentimental ending at which even her boyfriend has tears in his eyes. As so often with these stories there isn't that much to tell and hence there is a lot 'filling'.
