À propos de ce film

In the early 1980s, Pierre Durand abandoned a promising legal career and threw himself into his true passion, show jumping. With his father's backing, he gambled everything on a young horse whom no one else had any faith in: JAPPELOUP. Too small, too stubborn, too impetuous, he had many faults, but nonetheless had a remarkable jumping ability. From competition to competition, the pair improved and began to make their mark on the show jumping world. But the Los Angeles Olympic Games were a disaster for them, and Pierre had to face up to his shortcomings. With the help of his wife Nadia and groom Raphaëlle, Pierre regained JAPPELOUP's confidence and built a relationship that took them to victory in the Seoul Olympics in 1988.
