Plot Summary (as pieced together from sources)

The story follows a middle-aged long-distance runner (played by an unconfirmed actor) who decides to participate in an extreme ultramarathon through the French countryside. As he pushes his body beyond exhaustion, flashbacks reveal a troubled past involving a failed relationship and a son he has lost touch with. The race becomes a metaphor for his attempt to outrun guilt and find redemption. The film’s sparse dialogue and naturalistic cinematography emphasize solitude and inner struggle.
