The sport he gets into is fascinating—it's not just about physicality; it’s about redefining oneself. The atmosphere is heavy, almost oppressive at times, but it reflects his journey perfectly. The performances, especially Michael's, are authentic, giving you a sense of connection to his plight. This film dives deep into themes of resilience and the pursuit of dreams amidst chaos.
