Over the Limit was selected for the most prestigious international film festivals, like IDFA, and it is an intense, often disturbing drama, a documentary counterpart to The Black Swan (Variety), about unthinkable physical and mental effort invested by the 20-year-old Russian gymnast Margarita Mamun into winning an Olympic medal in gymnastics at the Brazil Olympics.
The most important documentary film festival in the region will present a total of 125 documentaries in 14 programme sections over eight days, and the audience will have a chance to follow the exciting run for Big Stamps, with 38 titles competing: 21 films in international and 17 films in regional competition.
