"Shadowboxing" was directed by Aleksei Sidorov .It is sport drama movie.It had its first showing in Estonia on 15 April 2005. and the film's hero Denis Nikiforov ( in the scene his name is Artyom Kolchin). Artjom Kolchin simple young man like many in his age, but he wanted glory. Soon, he chose his path: he became a boxer.Artjom wanted to claim the title of the champion fighter, known in all the world .The whole country knows him and wishes him luck in battle. Once he signed a contract which he must fight the battle. Artyom should lose the first fight,the second fight he will win and in the third fight both opponents will be famous. However, Artyom cannot fight because he has eye problem. He found a doctor. Doctor is a girl, named Vika. She does not want to grant him permission to fight, but he asks her very pitifully, and she gave him this permission.

During the fight in the ring, Aryom receives a severe blow and his vision becomes worse and worse. He gets to the hospital, and he reported that the operation would be very expensive. Next to him is always Wick. They are getting used to each other and they fall in love. Soon Artyom robbed a bank and made the operation. After a while Valiev says that Artyom stole the money. Artyom goes to prison. Valieva jailed for murder. After some years have passed, Artyom's term of imprisonment is over. He met with his love - Vika. They have remain together. His enemy in battle Larry called and asked : "how about a rematch?" .Artyom is silent. Larry repeats his question, "I said, how about a rematch?" with thise words film ends. In 2007 came the second part of this film "Shadowboxing 2: Revenge". After seeing the second part I even more fell in love with the main character of the film.This is one of my favorite films.

I recommend that everyone must see this film.
