Brief Explanation

Henri had thought of everything before leaving on holiday. He is driving on the highway with his family, but unexpected delays had lowered his average speed. So, when he finally exits a traffic jam, Henri accelerates to 150 kms/h to make up for lost time. After a turn in the road, he collides with a car stuck in traffic. Families are shattered. Friends and relatives of road crash victims appear. They are at the heart of the accident. They are seen floating, almost unreal, like flying over the tragedy scene in the same dynamic as the drivers themselves. They are impacted by the shockwave, although they were not physically present in the car. A voice over, along with the camera which shows each of them, explains their connection to the victim and the consequences of the tragedy on their current but also future lives.
