Olympia (1998)
A washed-up Mexican soap star ditches fame, fortune, and telenovela melodrama to chase an absurd new dream: becoming a javelin-throwing legend. With her trusty spear in hand and nothing left to lose, Olympia Miraflores (Carmen Nogales) swims across the Rio Grande, determined to rewrite her story. In border-town Laredo, she teams up with Billy (Jason Andrews), a disgraced coach whose athletic résumé includes wearing a taco costume outside a fast food joint. Together, this wildly mismatched duo takes on the world—one misstep at a time
