Rebellious and upcoming filmmakers make their biggest film to date. Witness how the ambitious and topical film Free Skate came to life.

A young and promising Russian figure skater is found beaten and frostbitten in a lay-by of a motorway in Finland. In the hospital, the officials find a letter from her belongings and are able to reconnect her with her Finnish grandmother, whom she has not seen for years. With the help of her grandmother, who offers her the shelter of her home, the figure skater tries to re-establish herself and recover from the trauma and inhumane circumstances that forced her to flee from Russia. She finds a new chance with top figure skating, but despite the bright future, new friends and possibilities, her past won’t let go of her. The figure skater realizes facing her troubled past is the only option to make it to the top.

TikTok star Bert De Kock goes on a date. Not the romantic type, but a make-up date. Bert talks to well-known young people about how they also struggle with their insecurities during a make-up challenge. Not a classic beauty tutorial, but for once they really choose who they (want) to see in the mirror. Make up, surprising confessions and above all a lot of humor: that is MakeUpDate.
