 Ichikawa's cameras follow the 1964 Summer Olympics from opening to closing ceremonies. Sometimes he focuses on spectators| as athletes pass in a blur; sometimes he
isolates a competitor; other times| it's a closeup of muscles as a hammer is thrown or a barbell lifted; or| we watch a race from start to finish. We see
come-from-behind wins in the women's 800 and the men's 10|000 meters. We follow an athlete from Chad from arrival to meals| training| competition| and loss.
Throughout| the film celebrates the nobility of athletes pushing themselves to the limit| regardless of victory.
