Experiencing Interruptions?

The 300 Blows

Abel is a diligent delivery driver. In a cruel accident, he loses his left foot and needs support crutches in his lifetime.

During a disabled party, he meets Kane who was once an excellent weightlifting athlete. Kane lives a very frustrating life after the injury.

With the encouragement of Abel, Kane decides to participate in an upcoming weightlifting competition with him. The competition takes place four and a half months later. They hope to win the match bonuses of the weightlifting competition together. After a series of intense training, it is finally the match day. However, Kane does not show up at the match day. Abel fails to find Kane anywhere.

Is there any secret behind the scenes ?
