I did not know anything about this movie before I saw it. Being a Bulgarian I knew just that it was about weightlifting and doping. I was imagining something like the Lance Armstrong documentary, but this movie took me on a wild ride - you can see how much it meant for the main character, when he got stripped of the gold medal in the 1988 Seoul Olympic games and you feel sympathy for him. I won't spoil anything, but I would totally recommend it to anyone, especially film lovers from Bulgaria.
