In 1994, Ricardo had given up on his dream to become a filmmaker. At twenty-four, he had in a way already come to accept his destiny as a simple, anonymous citizen lost in the immensity of a consumer society.
However, a call from Radio-Canada advising that he was selected as a finalist for the program La Course edition 1994-95 rekindled the young man’s artistic flame.
Ricardo was finally chosen. His life changed completely.
Commissioned by the public broadcaster to produce some twenty short films around the world, we meet up with Ricardo as he lands in Egypt, halfway through the televised “race.” Experiencing one problem after another to produce a four-minute film about excision, Ricardo will question many things, including his own nature. Is he or is he not a true artist?
