Director's Statement
This is a very personal movie, maybe as personal as it can be. By being the director and also one of the protagonists, I put an enormous effort to make this film, because the topic and its side-topics are essential for me. I hope to share many feelings with the viewers, and give back what running gave me - not only training, but friendship, humbleness, persistence.
The originality of this project is my personal access to the topic, my involvement in the race and the opportunity to creatively take advantage of my professional skills both as a filmmaker and as a runner.
Ultra races are not a sport achievement but an exercise to release my pain, problems and train my faith on the long road. That is how I met with my protagonists with different motivations behind their running. Ultra means beyond. All you think you are you may get beyond during this race.
Running for these people is a way of living, a way of facing problems, a way of facing life.
The film is about people who stand for what they love, their ability of never giving up. The characters may look average at first sight, through my vision their extraordinariness becomes visible. They are heroes who can inspire others.
