Synopsis

24 Hours of Le Mans, 1955. The race is huge. There are 300,000 spectators. Mercedes-Benz's Silver Arrows are the favorites to win. It is 6.00 p.m. when Pierre Levegh's car crashes into a safety barrier and explodes, sending flaming debris, including the engine block, into the crowd, causing the death of eighty-four people. It's a disaster, and yet, the race continues. On the Mercerdes-Benz team, Pierre Levegh has a copilot and friend who is wating to take over: John Fitch.

Honeymoon, by Alkis Papastathopoulos

After a traumatising event involving the cops, Fay is leaving Greece for good. Sandra accompanies her to the bus station, taking this time as a chance to say goodbye. As they are travelling by bus across the country, a transphobic attack by two co-passengers leaves them stranded on a highway in the middle of nowhere.
