Film series of the Montreal Cluster of the Cultural Institutions of the European Union EUNIC (European Union National Institutes for Culture):

EUROSPORT
Cinema meets sport.
After taking you on a journey to the four corners of Europe with the “Interrail” cycle, this year Montreal’s European cultural institutions invite you to a meeting of body and mind with the “Eurosport” cycle. From boxing rings to stadium lawns, these films about athletes past and present will awaken your inner “good sport”.

BREAKING THE ICE

Austria, 2022, 102 min
Director: Clara Stern

Mira lives for ice hockey and leads her team as captain with a strong will. It’s a challenge to combine this with her role in her parents’ vineyard: she runs the farm with her mother and her enterprising but increasingly demented grandfather – with all the responsibility.

The new player, Theresa, completely upsets her with her carefree and open attitude. And when Mira’s missing brother Paul turns up and all three lose themselves in Vienna at night, Mira discovers the freedom it means to break the rules, to reinvent herself – and that you can only love if you let go.
