Synopsis
VICTORY is a portrait of the Soviet Union through the prism of the 1980 Olympic Games, as told by six former Soviet citizens. In the background of this ‘collage’ of individual portraits is the Cold War as it reached another peak following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, which also led to a boycot of the Games. However ‘Victory’ is a film about humans, individuals in a politicized environment.
