SARAH PREFERS TO RUN

Sarah is a young athlete running middle-distance. Her life changes when she is offered a place in the best university athletics club in Montreal. Without financial support of her mother, she decides to marry her friend Antoine and to leave for the big city.

Chloé Robichaud, a new voice in Québecois cinema, traveled to Cannes with her debut feature, a poignant coming-of-age story that subtly untangles the growing confusion of a young athlete. The zeal to run hides a deeper, misunderstood feeling in this minimal, sensitive, yet truly affecting drama.
