This intimate portrait retraces the journey of Gloria Hooper, an Italian sprinter who represented her country at four Olympic Games. Now based between Rome and Leeds, she shares with great sincerity what athletics has given her — far beyond the podiums.
Far from a story of performance, this project highlights what Gloria considers essential: encounters, the support of others, and the human connections woven over the years.
Balancing life between the track and her work in a boutique, she embodies a form of transmission that is both gentle and powerful.
Shot with a sensitive and contemplative approach, the film paints a nuanced portrait of a woman in motion, between sporting memory and personal commitment.
