Synopsis
PLAY dresse un portrait de l'humanitĂ© par le sport. Partout dans le monde, les hommes jouent. Pour se dĂ©passer, se mesurer, s'unir, s'illustrer ou crĂ©er le spectacle... Le sport est l'un des plus petits dĂ©nominateurs du genre humain. Il se retrouve dans toutes les sociĂ©tĂ©s, toutes les cultures, toutes les classes sociales et Ă toutes les Ă©poques. D'une pulsion primitive au plus grand Ă©vĂ©nement du monde, du sport le plus mĂ©connu au plus mondialisĂ©, des plateaux arides Ă©thiopiens aux stades survoltĂ©s des mĂ©galopoles, le film voyage au cĆur de cette activitĂ© universellement partagĂ©e. Construit comme un film "opĂ©ra" avec les plus belles images de sport tournĂ©es en trĂšs haute dĂ©finition ou des archives rĂ©centes de grande qualitĂ©, PLAY repose sur la parole conjointe et entrelacĂ©e de grands champions internationaux et d'athlĂštes anonymes de sports mĂ©connus. Un film qui tĂ©moigne de notre diversitĂ© mais aussi de ce qui nous relie.
