Elite
This coming-of-age drama follows Dagmar, a fifteen-year-old gymnast training relentlessly toward a place on the national team. During a training camp, a devastating fall brings her to a halt — not so much from physical injury as from the psychological collapse that follows. As her confidence crumbles, the film traces with quiet tension how Dagmar faces her fears head-on, and what it takes to rebuild herself, both as an athlete and as a person.
Lovísa Dröfn graduated from 18frames, an independent film school, in 2022 as a producer. She has since produced three acclaimed, award-winning short films. <ELITE> marks her directorial debut.
