Will Power

When a catastrophic stroke destroys the creative half of his brain days before his international breakthrough, a celebrated rebellious Russian performer wakes paralyzed – unable to walk, speak, swallow, or sing.

Filmed over several years, Will Power follows his fragile and nonlinear rehabilitation as fame fades and his family turns away. What begins as a medical recovery becomes something deeper: a dramatic confrontation with identity, limitation, and choice.

Challenging the certainty of prognosis, the film explores the possibility that the boundaries defined by science are not always the limits of human will.
