About this Event
French with English subtitles
On the occasion of the 34th edition of the French Film Festival UK, join us for a screening of the documentary Autour de Lucio followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Étienne Barrier.
Lucio, a young man battling dystonia, as he sets out on a gruelling 99-day running and biking trek across France alongside his devoted mother.
With the Tour de France due to start off from Edinburgh next year we’re proud to present a film that highlights the uplifting value of sport in general and cycling in particular. Lucio, 26, suffers from dystonia, a condition that causes speech and movement disorders. However, he has embarked on a crazy challenge: to walk and cycle around France in less than 99 days.
Accompanied by his mother, he will discover France, his country that he only knows through television, and prove that with enough determination, you can make your dreams come true.
"A heart-warming documentary about the invincibility of the human spirit. " - Film Affinity
Director: Etienne Barrier & Pierre-Alain Delisse
