Synopsis
Paralympian (2022) is a Kazakhstani sports drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Aldiyar Bayrakimov and drawn from real athletes' stories. Stars Askar Ilyasov and Timur Bilalov.
Maxat has spent his entire life training for one thing — an Olympic slot on the alpine skiing circuit. The day his call-up arrives, a road accident takes his leg. Months in hospital follow, then a deep depression. When he's offered a place on Kazakhstan's Paralympic squad, he has to figure out whether there's any version of himself left that wants to compete.
Made with the backing of Kazakhstan's Paralympic movement and based on several real athletes' stories, the film is less interested in triumph than in the slow, uncomfortable work of relearning your own body — which turns out to be harder than any qualifying run.
