A champion mountain bike racer named Laurie (Charlotte Laurier) hesitates at the start gate, and the two seconds lost cost her the race-and her place on the the team. Forced into retirement, she is delighted to discover a job as a bike messenger. By chance, she meets Lorenzo (Dino Tavrone), a cantankerous Italian bike shop owner and former champion himself. Their mutual love and appreciation of cycling draw them together in spite of initial clashes. Once night they decide to face each other in a particular duel. Lorenzo shoe Laurie how every victory is relative and speaking relativity, speed is not the only way to bring time to a halt. An official selection at the Sundance Film Festival, and winner of 4 awards at the Montreal World Film Festival. 1998/full screen/Dolby digital/105 minutes.
