The Gymnast
Narrative Feature | July 22, 2007 @ 6:00 PMDirector: Ned Farr
Dazzling and sexy, this high-flying drama chronicles the journey two women take to grow and to find newfound strength together. Jane, a 43-year-old masseuse, was once an Olympic gymnast until an accident forced her early retirement. Unhappily married, she is drawn back to the gym where she meets gymnastics instructor Nicole and her gorgeous student Serena, a 28-year-old lesbian – together they form an aerial dance troupe. While training for an audition in Las Vegas, Jane develops an undeniable attraction to Serena, putting both women’s commitment to their work to the test, and forcing them to make hard decisions. The Gymnast is a beautiful portrayal of what it means to make your mark in life.
