As an elite runner, Cris constantly chases time on the track. Right before the national championships, a sudden mental breakdown forces her to step away from high-level competition. While chasing speed helps her forget inner demons, stopping takes true courage. Fortunately, her sister Natàlia becomes her shelter as she learns to accept her condition and redefine the pace of her life. Inspired by personal experiences, director Laura García Alonso crafts a poignant feature debut exploring an athlete’s inner struggle.

Cris是頂尖長跑手，時刻都在田徑場上追趕分秒，豈料全國錦標賽前夕，精神崩潰突然來襲，迫使她暫別高強度競賽。越是心急欲重拾狀態，就越是因為藥物治療步履維艱。追逐速度讓人暫忘心魔，及時停下卻需更大勇氣。還好妹妹Natàlia 作為她的避風港，協助她驅散內心恐懼情緒的出口，陪伴她學會接受自己的狀況並重新定義人生的步伐。導演 Laura García Alonso 受親人經歷啟發，首部長片細膩描寫運動員的自我爭鬥。
