SYNOPSIS

One is a professional athlete. One thinks of sport as a lifestyle. And one gets into sport almost by chance. One, surrounded by the crowd, seeks the inner strength to carve out moments of profound intimacy with self and nature. One feels at home on the street, seeking a family in chaos. And one finds peace in emptiness.

Three young people who are “different”, special, but who share a common need to measure up to an “adult” world. Three young people that life puts to a severe test: can they achieve self-awareness, and still nurture that sacred flame which makes them feel alive? It is a massive challenge, which each must face alone.

To live, to grow up, while trying not to stop dreaming of a future all your own. Because the strongest desire is to live your own passion, to live for what makes your heart beat faster, to live for yourself in a world that is out of the “ordinary”. A film about the time in your life in which you feel alone with yourself, facing a vast, magnificent and frightening void.

A decision about which road to take, made alone between dreams and fears, successes and defeats.
