OVERVIEW

The film is inspired by the true story of Philippe Croizon, who lost all four limbs in a tragic accident but refused to give up an active life. Starring Pierre Rabine, the film follows his journey from a devastating turning point to a new chapter in his life, in which Suzana, played by Lilly-Fleur Pointeaux, becomes his greatest source of support. Their story of love, courage and determination culminates in an incredible sporting achievement – swimming across the La Manche.
