Synopsis

Guts is a tense, psychological thriller about a women’s national ski team and the price of dreams. When underdog ANNA, 30, gets a chance to train with enigmatic ski queen MARIA, 28, she seizes the chance and sacrifices everything to rise among the stars. But the closer to the top Anna gets, the higher the price. In the end, there can only be one winner.

 

Note from the artistic direction

The world of sports is increasingly making headlines beyond the sports page… 
Guts takes us behind the scenes of a women’s cross-country skiing team, delving into toxic relationships, mental health struggles and the relentless pursuit of self-improvement. But what is the price of always pushing to be the best? 

An addictive series by Jemina Jokisalo, a screenwriter already awarded at CANNESERIES for her short series Money Shot.
