SYNOPSIS:
After an accident, the Colombian cyclist Ever Torres wakes up with no memory and speaking French, leaving his family bewildered. Back in his hometown, he meets Véronique Claudel, a French journalist who helps him rebuild his life. During this process, he discovers his 10-year-old daughter, who is the only one in the town that sees him as a hero.
Véronique returns to France and publishes The Eternal Second, a book inspired by the life of Ever Torres and Raymond Poulidor, the French cyclist known as “the eternal second.” Véronique sends a copy to her friend Ever, signed by Mathieu Van der Poel, Poulidor’s grandson and Egan Bernal, the Tour de France winner (2019). They remind Ever that the true triumph in the race of life is getting back up after every fall and continuing to run forward.
