Fair Play Page #5

Synopsis: The 1980s in Czechoslovakia. The young talented sprinter Anna (Judit Bárdos) is selected for the national team and starts training to qualify for the Olympic Games. As a part of the preparation she is placed in a secret "medical programme" where she's getting doped with anabolic steroids. Her performance is getting better, but after she collapses at the training, she learns the truth about the drugs. Anna decides to continue in her training without the steroids even though her mother (Anna Geislerova) is worried that she won't be able to keep up with other athletes and might not qualify for the Olympics, which she sees as the only chance for her daughter to escape from behind the Iron Curtain. After Anna finishes the last in the indoor race, her mother informs the coach (Roman Luknar) that Anna is no longer using steroids. They decide to apply the steroids to Anna secretly, pretending it's nothing but doses of harmless vitamins.

- But she has already qualified.

- She's not going anywhere

and you're going to jail.

We know is from Kriz anyway.

If I were you d cooperate.

Could I get a lawyer?

Yes but he won't save you.

You yourself are of no value for us.

Then perhaps is better if you

arrest someone who is of no value.

- Hello.

- Hi, come on.

You can thank comrade Kracik

for getting you out of this mess.

- What will happen to my mom?

- Look, I can't make miracles.

Be glad I helped you. As comrade

investigator said is only up to you.

I told him I don't know anything.

Sleep on it and tomorrow you'll tell them what they need.

Look, the socialist system has invested

tens of thousands into your training.

The others can only dream about the advantages you have.

Am I supposed to be grateful to you

for stuffing me with anabolics?

Anna, mind your words.

If you act stupid your coach will pay

then me and then those above me.

Heads will roll because of you.

The decision is notjust yours, ok?

You don't want to betray your country.

You want to go to the Olympics, right?

No, I don't.

What?

m not going to the Olympics and thas that.

- What kind of bullshit is this?

- m not representing this system.

What are you talking about?

It means you're done with racing.

You're done with everything.

You'll become a nobody.
