The Finishers (2015)
Julien is a charming 17-year-old boy who is wheelchair-bound due to cerebral palsy. Despite their love for him, his family is gradually falling apart under the strain of dealing with his disability. In a bid to bond with his father, Julien challenges him to participate with him in the Ironman race in Nice, which consists of 2.4 miles of swimming, 112 miles of biking and a 26-mile marathon. This trial is already exceptional, but it becomes almost impossible if one has to help a disabled youth throughout the course. Through backbreaking training, the father-and-son duo embrace the challenge, which draws them closer and spurs them on to the finish line.
