Endowed with outstanding cinematography, and in-depth interviews with competitors, this documentary underlines the gender parity being achieved at an Olympic level. Women compete in ski jumping for the first time at the Winter Games, and Canada is seen beating the United States at the last gasp in the women's ice hockey final. Disciplines given prominence here include speed skating, figure skating, aerial skiing, curling, and the biathlon. Training is analysed as much as the competitions themselves. A suite of accidents and mishaps, and the consequent tears of frustration, remind us that the Olympics is not just about winning.

An artistic reconstruction of the life of one person, a poet. Although Marina Tsvetaeva is known not only for her work, but also for her difficult fate, the painting "Passion for Marina" deserves the interest of even those who believe that nothing new will be told about Tsvetaeva. The film uses memoir prose, letters and notebooks of M.I. Tsvetaeva, A.I. Tsvetaeva, A.S. Efron, G.S. Efron, diaries, memoirs and letters of their contemporaries; fragments of films from the collection of the Gosfilmofond of Russia and the Russian State Archive of Film and Photographic Documents.
