2024 | NR | 104 minutes | Click Title for Details Weightlifter Nazik Avdalyan's career halted after a car crash. After years of recovery, she defies the odds to win two championships

"The Reverse Side of the Medal" is a sports drama that chronicles the extraordinary life and career of Nazik Avdalyan, a world champion and two-time European champion. After suffering a severe injury in a car accident, Nazik was forced to step away from competitive sports for seven years. Despite facing immense skepticism and enduring excruciating pain, she made a remarkable comeback, reclaiming her title as a two-time European champion. Her story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the unwavering determination that makes the impossible achievable.
