Eric Bellion competed in the 2016-17 Vendée Globe on Comme un seul homme. This young sailor, who had little racing experience and even less solo sailing experience, took on this round the world challenge.
During his 99-day journey, he filmed himself, holding his camera at arm's length and talking to her. He edited all these hours of very intimate images in the form of a 1h22 documentary.
The choice of images will surprise lovers of the Vendée Globe who have followed the whole adventure along the water. Indeed, in this documentary, if Eric Bellion looks back on his joys, his sorrows, his fears, his doubts, he doesn't talk about running at all. The journey through the three capes, the crossing of the oceans, are shown as stages of its psychological evolution.
Eric Bellion with very beautiful pictures, shows the emotional burden that sailors have to bear on their own for more than 3 months alone. Each manoeuvre, each repair is a small victory reported on itself. To finally complete the loop and reach the finish line.
This film shows a Vendée Globe like we've never seen before. While the race is highly publicized with each of the competitors who provide us with almost live images from their boats, Eric Bellion's film offers a completely different perspective much closer to the sailor.
The viewer of the film Comme un seul homme will not see the story of a Vendée Globe, but an unprecedented and spectacular immersive testimony on a man's journey through the elements and himself.
