The Edge (2024)

Immersed in the realm of competitive sports, three young women offer an illuminating exploration of the life of a female athlete amid the world of intense rivalry - both within and beyond the arenas of track, pool, and gym. Yui, a Japanese Paralympic swimmer, grapples not only with the usual highs and lows of sportsmanship but also contends with cultural nuances and biases stemming from her disability. While fellow athletes recognize her prowess, societal attitudes often fall short. Annie, a sprinter driven primarily by her athletic passion, finds herself facing an unexpected challenge when her boyfriend proposes an open relationship. Finally, Sylvia, a First Nations powerlifter, navigates the intricate balance between her physical prowess and her exceptional intellect, struggling with emotional detachment and romantic commitment along the way. Metaphorically, we're all competitors in a game of life, it's just that sport writes down the rules. Because if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
