The Distance Between Two Top Athletes

Henry is a professional football player who lives in a rhythm of stadiums, locker rooms and the constant pressure of an audience that demands everything from him. Janet is a professional tennis player who conquers her own world on clay and grass, always traveling from tournament to tournament, surrounded by the clapping of rackets and the loneliness of a hotel room after a lost or won final.

Their relationship flourishes in the margins of two top-sport careers. While they are each other’s biggest fans, the distance, measured in kilometers, time zones and the whims of their schedules, is their constant shadow. They have chosen an intimate tradition: twenty-four handwritten letters sent by post. These letters are the only place where the masks fall off.
