Film "Ula"

Teenager Ula stands out for something unusual - her height is approaching two meters, and living on an isolated rural farm, she feels like a stranger in her own family, which worries whether there is even a place in the world for a girl that tall. When a basketball coach accidentally gets hold of Ula's class photo, her life turns upside down: Ula is taken to Riga and placed in a legendary basketball team.

Between training sessions and competitions, Ula tries to understand who she is - an athlete, a country girl, or simply a person who wants to live a normal life. Yet both the villagers and the sports world see her only as a "giantess," whose value lies in centimeters. After fleeing back home, Ula realizes that the real challenge is not basketball, but her identity and the courage to be herself.
