〈올가〉는 현재 벌어지고 있는 러시아와 우크라이나 전쟁의 단초가 된 유로마이단 반정부 시위를 배경으로, 어린 우크라이나 체조선수 올가가 국적을 옮겨 스위스 대표팀이 되면서 그녀의 마음속에서 벌어지는 갈등을 주축으로 하고 있다. 우크라이나와 유럽, 러시아라는 삼각구도의 미묘한 정치적 관계는 국가를 대표해서 뛰어야 하는 스포츠 선수들의 이야기에 고스란히 투영된다. 우크라이나 어머니와 스위스 아버지 사이에서 태어난 올가가 선택할 수 있는 길. 고국에 남겨둔 친구들과 엄마, 한때는 동지였던 이들과 적으로 다시 마주쳐야 하는 스포츠 세계의 현실은 자유를 갈망하며 폭력과 싸우는 우크라이나 시민들의 상황과 맞물려 있다. 〈올가〉는 국가와 시민, 연대와 폭력 사이에서 흔들리는 굳건하지만 연약한 소녀의 마음을 들여다보게 만드는 섬세하고도 담대한 작품이다.
