In this film, a man who lives without a heart, Christophe, does an emotional appeal to all Belgians to become an organ donor. He goes on a deliberate quest for spectacular actions that would skyrocket the heart rate of any normal person. Cycling, drifting a fast car, flying, … none of this affects him anymore. The only thing that can bring back the sensation of a beating heart is an organ donation. Shortly before releasing this film, Christophe passed away. However, it was his wish to make this project happen, no matter what. Because there are thousands of people for whom help is not too late.
