The Contest
THE CONTEST is a film about specific motives of two competitors, but
also about so-called morality and ethical questions. In their interior monologues the competing figures reflect phenomena
like greed, envy, power, seduction, desire and disappointment. The plot is based on the real story of Tonya Harding and Nancy
Kerrigan.
