110% Honest

Satirical and thematically sensitive drama-comedy about a celebrated, Norwegian star athlete, who after a doping scandal has a whole nation turn against her.

The publicly loved and qualified professional cyclist Kimberly (Silje Salomonsen) choses, after a finished career, to reveal her previous use of doping. The revelation shocks the Norwegian sports world, and Kimberly is portrayed as a villain and loses both reputation and sponsors. What makes things worse is that Kimberly does not seem to show enough remorse. Jannicke Systad Jacobsen’s dark comedy 110% Honest takes us behind the scenes of elite sports and highlights not least the obtuse relationship the public and the media have towards star athletes.
