Description:

Mani’s role model is Nadia Comaneci, the first gymnast in history to score a “perfect 10” in Olympics. Now 36, Mani is far from a gymnast career she dreamed of as a child; further more, she is just laid off. While Mani is in goblin mode, the discussion of a potential redevelopment project of their apartment is everywhere. Amidst this upheaval, Mani's mind drifts back to her old gymnastic days, when she once struggled between expectation and reality.
