Sentez le vent

The Karate Kid meets Chariots of Fire without the melodrama. A washed-up runner and a disgraced rival rebuild their lives by forming a ragtag relay team for Japan’s grueling Hakone Ekiden. Ten misfits, one shot at the podium – 2009’s answer to underdog grit with zero nostalgia padding.
