Synopsis (fr)
Grégory réapprend à vivre après une chute qui l’a laissé en fauteuil roulant. Formation, rugby, routine… il s’accroche. Mais entre l’amour qui s’effondre et les certitudes qui vacillent, il finit par lâcher prise. Jusqu’à une rencontre inattendue, douce et frontale, qui rallume quelque chose. Un film sensible sur la reconstruction, les résistances intérieures… et les surprises du lien.
Synopsis (en)
After falling from a rooftop, Grégory is trying to piece his life back together—training, rugby, routine. But between heartbreak and exhaustion, he starts to lose his grip. Then an unexpected meeting stirs something new. Match is a tender, unflinching look at recovery, masculinity, and what happens when connection shows up where you least expect it.
