STORY
On the slopes of Mount Etna, François is learning to live again.
After losing his daughter in an accident in Rio, he shares his story for Le Jour du Seigneur in a donation appeal campaign that is both intimate and full of light.
What if faith could turn grief into strength?
In this documentary film, we meet François, former CEO of L’Équipe, who lost his daughter in a tragic accident in Rio. His powerful testimony, filmed in the quiet moments of his life, reveals how spirituality helped him move through grief. Through his participation in Le Jour du Seigneur, he discovered the power of televised mass for those seeking meaning, breath, and connection.
SAVOIR-FAIRE
Shot with a cinema-trained crew, this documentary relies on a discreet approach:
handheld camera, natural light, and direct sound. Filming François in his daily life required capturing authenticity without intrusion. Every shot was carefully crafted to convey the modesty, spirituality, and emotional truth of his testimony. A masterfully delicate style to reveal, without commentary, the silent power of faith.
