Ce film est un biopic consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 U\u013cjana Semjonova, joueuse de basket-ball sovi\u00e9tique d\u2019origine russe, atteinte d\u2019acrom\u00e9galie en force Il nous emm\u00e8ne en Lettonie, en 1964. Ulya, adolescente pr\u00e8s de deux m\u00e8tres, grandit dans une ferme isol\u00e9e. Sa taille hors norme inqui\u00e8te sa famille, qui ne sait pas quelle place le monde peut lui offrir. Elle est envoy\u00e9e \u00e0 Riga pour int\u00e9grer une \u00e9quipe prestigieuse de basket. Le sport est l\u2019\u00e9chappatoire qui lui permet de surmonter les regards des autres sur son corps. Elle s\u2019entra\u00eene sans rel\u00e2che, tout en comprenant que le basket ne lui offrira jamais une vie \u00ab normale \u00bb. De retour au village, elle d\u00e9couvre que ni la vie paysanne ni le milieu sportif ne la r\u00e9duisent enti\u00e8rement \u00e0 sa taille. En acceptant enfin qui elle est, elle se retrouve face \u00e0 un choix d\u00e9cisif : se cacher ou devenir la meilleure joueuse de basket-ball au monde. \u00c9trang\u00e8re au monde qui l\u2019entoure, trait\u00e9e comme une b\u00eate de foire avec laquelle on veut se prendre en photo, elle doit aussi composer avec ses premiers \u00e9mois amoureux, tandis que son entra\u00eeneur met en garde les joueuses contre les gar\u00e7ons, par peur d\u2019une grossesse qui briserait une carri\u00e8re, mais aussi de manipulations possibles. Mal aim\u00e9e, tiraill\u00e9e, elle h\u00e9site entre rester aupr\u00e8s des siens et se consacrer au sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tourn\u00e9 en noir et blanc, le film brille par la ma\u00eetrise de son \u00e9clairage et de sa photographie, notamment dans la fa\u00e7on dont il sublime les paysages lettons, encore rares au cin\u00e9ma. S\u2019il reprend les codes classiques du film de h\u00e9ros sportif, ce qui le rend parfois assez pr\u00e9visible (et oui, \u00e0 la fin, ils gagnent, sa v\u00e9ritable force r\u00e9side surtout dans sa r\u00e9flexion sur la diff\u00e9rence, le regard port\u00e9 sur les corps hors normes et la qu\u00eate d\u2019identit\u00e9. Le personnage d\u2019Ulya est remarquablement interpr\u00e9t\u00e9 par K\u0101rlis Arnolds Avots, acteur pourtant, \u00e0 tort, r\u00e9f\u00e9renc\u00e9 de genre f\u00e9minin sur Allocin\u00e9 et Le Film Fran\u00e7ais. Il est aussi l\u2019auteur de la premi\u00e8re version du sc\u00e9nario, ensuite retravaill\u00e9e, ce qui se ressent dans la profondeur de son incarnation. Sa performance, \u00e0 la fois physique, fragile et puissante, en fait un s\u00e9rieux candidat au Prix d\u2019interpr\u00e9tation dans la section Un Certain Regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
