I made a very personal film through a family drama. This is about a terrible accident that occurred during the 24H Le Mans in 1955. After the first 2 hours of an incredible race, a car hit another one and literally jumped into the public. More than 80 people instantly died.
Among them, two of my uncles whom I never knew. Claude and François. They were 16 and 21. This was a kind of secret in my family as nobody ever talked about it. It was and still is a family trauma.
