The segments include Claude Lelouch�s take on Olympic losers and their struggle to remain dignified even in the face of bitter disappointment and defeat; Mai Zetterling�s dramatic exploration of the world of weightlifting; and Michael Pfleghar�s piece on young Russian gymnast Ludmilla Tourischev�s majestic performance on the uneven bars.
