Presented by the Oregon Division of U.S. Fencing.
A young
man arrives in an Estonian town that has been under harsh Russian
Communist rule since the end of World War II. Taking a job as a sports
instructor at the local school, he organizes a wildly successful fencing
club, affecting the lives of the local children in profound and moving
ways. At the climactic competition with Russian opponents, his past
finally catches up with him. Inspired by the true story of Endel Nelis,
Estonia’s legendary fencing maestro.
