Plot Summary
Sarah est une jeune athlète de course de demi-fond. Sa vie bascule lorsqu’on lui offre une place dans le meilleur club d’athlétisme universitaire de la province à Montréal, loin de sa banlieue natale de Québec. Sarah ne bénéficie pas du soutien financier de sa mère pour se lancer dans l’aventure. Celle-ci s’inquiète surtout des conséquences d’un tel changement sur la santé et la vie de sa fille. Déterminée, Sarah quitte tout de même pour la ville, en compagnie de son ami Antoine. Les deux, naïfs, s’épouseront, question de toucher de meilleurs prêts et bourses du gouvernement. Le mariage ne sera pas ce qu’ils espéraient, du haut de leurs 20 ans… Elle ne veut faire de mal à personne par ses choix, mais malheureusement, Sarah préfère la course.
