‘Patience and hard work will overcome all.’ The film title refers to a Russian proverb to this effect. But Sokurov leaves out the ‘and’ in the title and tells, in rapidly edited images, about how professional ice skaters inflict a huge strain on their bodies and lives to achieve top form. Enough to make one dizzy. A commis-sioned work that did not please initially.
