A story based on true events about a young girl growing up in the 1960s in a small Old Believer village in Soviet Latvia. Sports talent scouts take notice of the fourteen-year-old’s exceptional height. Soon, Ulya, or Uļjana Semjonova, finds herself on the verge of an international career and goes on to become a global basketball legend. Before reaching that point, however, she struggles to come to terms with both her unusual appearance and her emotional fragility.
