Sarah Prefers to Run

Sarah, a gifted young middle-distance runner, sees her life turn upside down when she’s accepted to Quebec’s top university athletics program in Montreal – far from her suburban Quebec City home. Sarah doesn’t have her mother’s financial support for the move, or any support at all: her mother worries that leaving will have a negative impact on Sarah’s health and life. But Sarah is stubborn and moves to Montreal anyway, with her friend Antoine. Though barely out of their teens, they get married in order to get the best scholarships and loans. Marriage turns out to be completely different from what the naïve 20-year-olds expected. Sarah doesn’t want to hurt anyonewith the choices she makes, it’s just that she loves running more than anything else.
