Winner of four awards at the '98 Montreal World Film Festival, Manon Briand's engaging gem examines light, speed, and love at first sight. Cycling is Laurence's only love; obsessed with speed and time, she succeeds as a champion mountain- bike racer until one mistake destroys her career. Struggling to forge a new way, Laurence finds work as a courier but encounters the hectic, uneasy atmosphere of a downtown labyrinth. Only through the chance friendship of cantankerous Lorenzo, a retired speed cyclist, does Laurence eventually find joy and open her heart for love of the human kind. 2 Seconds is an enchanting film about staying true to what you love most.
