Olga is a 15-year-old Ukrainian gymnast preparing for the European championship. Her dreams are thwarted by the tense political happening: when she and her mother, who is a journalist, find themselves in danger, Olga is forced to go to Switzerland. There, she continues her sports career and tries to become or rather remain the best. In the meanwhile, her country is thrown into turmoil – the Maidan Revolution breaks out in Kyiv, sucking Olga’s mother and also her best friend into a dangerous whirlpool. When the sound of revolution breaks into the faraway Swiss gym, Olga is faced with a dilemma.

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
