    • Synopsis
    • 40 years after his death, a docu film to tell the story of Gilles Villeneuve, one of Ferrari's iconic drivers. Losing his life during a qualifying run for the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix, his name is still today synonymous with fearlessness behind the wheel. Considered by many as unreliable, by others as a pure spirit who never calculated the consequences of his actions, Villeneuve embodied the spirit of speed and racing like nobody else. This led him to compete intrepidly, with little care about destroying cars or executing hair-raising overtakes around tight curves.
