L’Échappée
After a lifetime in one jersey, Julien Sprunger faces the hardest transition of all: stepping away.
Synopsis
For more than two decades, Julien Sprunger embodied HC Fribourg-Gottéron. L’Échappée follows the iconic captain through the closing chapter of an extraordinary career, moving between the roar of the BCF Arena and the solitude that follows each game. Injuries, loyalty, family and the prospect of retirement reveal the private man behind a public legend.
The edge
This is not a chronological collection of goals or tributes. With rare access to Sprunger’s family life, physical scars, doubts and memories, the film explores what happens when an elite athlete must leave the identity that has defined him since childhood. The contrast between speed and stillness, crowds and silence, makes the transition itself the story.
