In Rapide, Morgan S. Dalibert(Balle perdue) delivers a story at the crossroads of action and thriller, driven by a quest to surpass oneself. Max, played by Paola Locatelli, is a teenager with a passion for speed and motor sports. From the moment she starts karting, she dreams of becoming a Formula 1 champion. But at 17, despite her undeniable talent, she comes up against the barriers of a male-dominated world.
That's when an unlikely mentor steps in, played by Alban Lenoir, a whimsical, washed-up ex-driver who believes in her against all odds. With breathtaking sequences on the racetrack and powerful emotional stakes, Rapide promises a captivating immersion in the world of motor racing.
Rapide will be released in France on April 16, 2025.
Synopsis: Max has always liked to go fast. She doesn't know any other way. So when she discovers karting, it's obvious: she's going to be an F1 champion. But at 17, no racing team is holding her back. Faced with a world that has turned its back on her, a whimsical former driver still believes in her, and has a single goal: to make her the fastest.
