Say You Love Me
Former ice-skating champion BIANCA (40) devotedly trains her prodigy son MALIK (13) for an upcoming competition. Sensing that Bianca is fantasizing of leaving him, Malik punishes his mother by provoking an accident with his choreographer SERGEI (25). Trapped in their very own cycle of violence, mother and son are staggering between intimate tenderness and a brutal distance, challenging the boundaries of their unconditional love.
