Young boxer Arlan, a trainee at the Olympic Reserve Boxing School, dreams of making it to the Olympics. However, he is forced to take on side jobs to support his mother and younger brother, who suffers from a rare illness. One day, while working at a store, he meets Alina, a piano student at the conservatory who secretly dreams of becoming a singer. Their meeting inspires her to gain the confidence to choose her own path. As his brother’s condition worsens and expensive treatment becomes necessary, Arlan, following the advice of his friend Tokha, agrees to take part in underground bare-knuckle fights to earn quick money — sacrificing his dream of Olympic gold. Now, he must endure a grueling journey through the brutal world of underground fighting, where the reigning champion is the undefeated Nikita Aday.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
