The Track is a contemporary coming-of-age story following three teenagers—Mirza, Zlatan, and Hamza—chasing their Olympic dreams in post-war Bosnia. Training on their decaying luge track, a relic of the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Games, the boys are guided by their resilient coach, Senad. His unwavering commitment to rebuilding the neglected track mirrors his struggle to secure a future for the boys in a country burdened by the highest youth unemployment rate in Europe.
