Director’s note:
La main vers le ciel is a short documentary film that seeks to depict, in just a few minutes, the process of shaping, discipline, and social pressures placed on young athletes during training. Their still-childlike faces are marked by innocence, yet a certain strength of character and resistance already shines through in the young skaters.
