The film tells the stories of Uruguayan athletes who trained to compete in the “Rio 2016” Olympic Games, held from August 5 to 21 in Rio de Janeiro.
The film’s central theme was to answer the question, “What does it mean to be an Olympian in Uruguay?”—a country where resources and interest in so-called “minor sports” are lacking.
Some of the protagonists are: Rodolfo Collazo, Emiliano Dumestre, and Bruno Cetraro (rowing); Pablo and Mikael Aprahamian (judo); María Pía Lorenzotti (table tennis); Néstor Nielsen (equestrian); Emiliano Lasa (long jump); and Alejandro Foglia and Dolores Moreira (sailing).
