Little Victories

Every day, a father works to accumulate the money needed to buy go-kart tires for his daughter and himself. At the racetrack or at home, nothing matters but each other's presence. But during their last autumn in the heart of nature and engines, his weakening health prompts him to reflect on the legacy he will bequeath to her.

Director Statement

LES PETITES VICTOIRES is a 15-minute silent short film that combines contemplative camerawork with a nostalgic, intimate tone. My intention is to tell a melancholy tale about the sacrifices parents make out of love for their children, and above all, to illustrate my gratitude for these everyday gestures of love that we often take for granted, and unfortunately appreciate too late.
