Se crasher pour exister
Julien Henry België 2023 65 min.
On a circuit, somewhere on the border between Flanders and France, Alizée dreams of being a race car driver, just like her boyfriend, her father, her mother and soon her little brother. On Sundays, she lets go of all the brakes, literally and figuratively. To them, this is more than a hobby. Racing is a way of life.

Award-winning director Julien Henry paints a particularly compelling portrait of a community whose lives revolve around a race track. Their heart and soul is in the races, they find their friends and family, connection, adrenaline and sometimes tragedy on the track. For Alizée, it is a way to blow off steam. But the circuit that has brought the community together for 40 years is forced to close due to administrative problems. How will Alizée and the community survive without their reason to exist?
