Maxime is 16. A promising swimmer, he is about to enter a sport study program. One afternoon, the police interrupts a training session to question his coach, who has been accused of sexual abuse by one of the club's young swimmers. These accusations will crack the armour of silence that Max has built to survive the abuse he himself suffered years earlier.

Paul Vincent de Lestrade
Paul Vincent de Lestrade studied at the Sorbonne where he obtained a degree in cinema and audiovisual studies in 2015 and freelanced as a cinema critic for student online radio and magazine. He then studied at the Institut National Supérieur des Arts du Spectacle - INSAS (Brussels) where he specialized in directing. His documentary and fictional works form a collection of portraits filmed close to the body, questioning our relationship to violence: the one inflicted on us and the one we use on others.
