Write a short summary of what happens in the film

Our video, Unfinished Games, looks at the life of a female athlete devoted to winning an Olympic gold medal. Kumi Nakada is currently the coach of the Japan women's national volleyball team. She became a member of the 1980 Japanese Olympic team at the age of 15 and participated at the next three Olympic Games in Los Angeles, Seoul and Barcelona. While her career has been brilliant, various setbacks prevented her from fulfilling her dream of winning an Olympic gold medal. In the video, she talks about the four games that transformed her life while walking through a museum-like space displaying large images from those games that evoke memories and strong emotions. Still devoted to volleyball, this indomitable female athlete continues her quest on the road to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Cultural/Context information for the jury

Once known around the world as the Witches of the Orient, the Japan women's national volleyball team brilliantly won medals at four consecutive Olympics: a gold medal in Tokyo (1964), silver medal in Mexico City (1968), silver medal in Munich (1972) and gold medal in Montreal (1976). Expectations were so high that even silver medals disappointed fans. Since earning a bronze medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, however, the team has failed to win any Olympic medals. Japanese are now desperate to see their female volleyball team win a gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Coach Kumi Nakada debuted as a player in 1980 just before the team’s slump began. All of her 1980 teammates had previously won gold medals, so it was natural for her to pursue one for herself.
