The tale of the consuming ambition of a daughter who must win. An intimate portrait of a fencing champion, filmed over 10 years.

Nathalie has a dream since childhood: a gold medal in fencing. A consuming ambition that merges with obsession. An accomplice father and demanding life master who pushes her to try any path to victory. A legendary coach. Three Olympic Games with two different flags. 10 years of challenges, many defeats and few victories. Nathalie trains obsessively, attends competitions around the world, follows gurus and propitiatory ceremonies. She marries a TV chef. She builds a winning, hyper-performing public persona. Glamorous evenings in Paris, bourgeois lunches in Milan, TV interviews in Rio de Janeiro. Moments of despair and the desire to drop everything.
