"La Championne"
1991
Directed by Elisabeta Bostan

A realistic look at a young girl's sacrifice in training to become a champion gymnast, this thoughtful, authentic story appeals to young viewers without condescending to them. "A perfect mix of laughter and sweat, discipline and freshness, of joy and competition, this story unfolds at an unfaltering pace" (Regis Tremblay, Le Soleil). French with no English subtitles.  92 minutes.
