German documentary following 4 girls who are part of the German national wrestling program. They are at a boarding school with the sole purpose of training for the national tournament. There is not a lot of depth here, but it is fascinating to watch the interactions of girls at the age of 12 and 13 as they immerse themselves in a sport where body focus is so dominant. And watching the interactions between the girls and the coaches as each has their own level of communication, self confidence, competitive drive, self pressure and the coaches need to adjust their style to each kid.
3 stars (out of 5)
