Flesh Wound

A rugby stadium in southwestern France. Each and every Sunday, bodies collide. Along the sidelines, Louis and his junior friends are mesmerised by the feats of the senior team. These athletes exert a fascination on young players, who hope one day to be part of this world. Behind the scenes, the harsh world of the locker room, the obligation to perform, and the violence on the field are also portrayed in this short film, as they are part of the real debate in France around the health problems of players who subject their bodies to a brutality that is not free of severe consequences.
