Log Line
Felix, a cycling rider, signs up for an Italian team, he wants to become a pro no matter what, excelling his father.
Synopsis
Felix Vereecke grows up as an insider at his father’s veteran league cycling races, an outlandish milieu with no shortage of alcohol, violence, and prohibited substances.
He wants to become a pro no matter what, excelling his father Mathieu, who seeks to fulfil his own failed dreams of cycling glory.
As an adult, Felix turns out to be incredibly gifted. When he becomes national junior champion, he follows his own path towards the promised land of youth cycling: Italy. The merciless competition and his feeble health, however, threaten to become his downfall.
