Le Sourire — Handisport
The simple freedom to get outside, explore the mountains and share experiences with family and friends can mean everything.
Le Sourire tells the stories of people whose lives have been transformed through Handisport and its work supporting people with disabilities across France.
Through intimate personal accounts, we meet a father reflecting on how outdoor experiences brought happiness and freedom to his daughter during the final years of her life, and a mother who, despite being paralysed from the waist down, is able to go mountain biking with her daughters using a four-wheeled electric mountain bike.
From the mountains to the simplest moments spent together outdoors, the film celebrates the joy, independence and sense of possibility that accessible sport can bring.
