Philippe, a lake and a dream
A sedentary father, Philippe, has long cherished a crazy ambition: to swim the 32km across Lac Saint-Jean. He challenges his teenage daughter to train with him and what follows is a transformative journey of training, commitment, and resilience. Philippe’s dream is a reminder that family, friends, and community are more important than ever reaching the finish line.
