The Winner (hu|A győztes) is a 2014 Hungarian short film directed by Dávid Géczy, starring Andor Lukáts and Iván Kamarás. The film is supported by Media Council Film[1] and Media Funding Scheme.[2]

Plot

It is a short fiction movie about an old swimming coach, István Kovács (Andor Lukáts), who won a gold medal at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow in swimming.

He gets a life-changing medical diagnosis. As a result, he has to abstain from any physical activity. By now all his fame and honour has faded, and he's stuck coaching undisciplined, useless children who'd never understand what it means to strive for something and achieve it. Every day he races against the younger version of himself (Iván Kamarás), unable to come to terms with his present circumstances. He decides to swim his top score from back at the Olympics. But this battle defeats him.

The film focuses on the question "is a winner really a winner?"
