Drawing from Pierre de Coubertin’s Olympic values, the film explores the full spectrum of an athlete’s journey, from the exhilaration of victory to the pain of defeat. These strong emotions, which are the very power of sport, fuel the flame throughout the film. Paul, Luc & Martin’s direction captures both the explosive energy of sport—the intensity of racecourses, sandbags struck by fists, and hooves clacking their arrival —and the emotional battles that define the true spirit of the Games. It’s a visual tribute to the universal fire that drives every athlete, from the sweat and tears to the moment of glory.
