Synopsis:
Julien is 17 years old, he has a great sense of humour, bags of charm, and is in a wheelchair due to cerebral palsy. Despite their great love for him, his family is gradually falling apart under the strain of dealing with his disability. Like all teenagers, Julien dreams of adventure and thrilling sensations. But when you live in a wheelchair, such dreams are difficult to fulfil. To do so, and to bond with his father, Julien challenges him to participate with him in the Ironman race in Nice, in the French Riviera, one of the most difficult sporting events in the world, a triathlon in which his father has previously competed. This is already exceptional, but it becomes almost impossible if one has to help a disabled kid throughout the course. A whole family comes together and reconnects in an attempt to see this incredible exploit through.
