Ulya

<div>Latvia’s official submission for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. In 1964, Ulya, an Old Believer teenage girl nearing two meters tall, grows up on a faraway country farm. Her unusual height troubles her family, who wonder if there’s a place for her in the world. When her class photo reaches basketball coaches, Ulya is whisked to Riga to join a famous basketball team. Struggling with her height and identity, she trains hard, but realises basketball can’t fulfil her dream of a normal life. After fleeing back home, Ulya discovers both village life and basketball see her only for her towering height. Accepting herself, she faces a choice: hide or aim to be the best basketball player in the world.</div><div><br></div><div>The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this year and is inspired by the true story of the legendary Latvian basketball player Uljana Semjonova, winner of two Olympic Gold medals, a number of championships from 1968–1989, and an inaugural member of the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame.</div><div><br></div><div>https://www.londonbalticff.com/</div>DramaPT1H42M182026-11-21LVlv
