Underdog

France2022fiction21'Międzynarodowy konkurs krótkometrażowy (2023)

One night, one assignment, one bike and an incessant race with time. A young man is trying to pay off his debt so that he will not lose the cubbyhole he is renting. But desperados are seldom preferred by fortune, which would rather put a stick in their spokes or blatantly laugh in their face. As in a mirror, this short fiction film reflects the everyday drudgery of thousands of suppliers of diverse goods rushing down the streets and pavements of our cities. What kind of stories are they carrying in food delivery backpacks which safeguard the temperature of dishes but not of themselves? There is a sliver of hope that appears in this dynamic puzzle of events. Social cinema narrated with the zest of an action movie.
