MISE EN GARDE : Ce film aborde les thèmes du suicide et des comportements autodestructeurs.

Dans le sport amateur et professionnel, l’homosexualité reste taboue. Peu d’athlètes osent sortir du placard de peur d’être stigmatisés. Une pression s’ajoute à celle de la performance : affirmer ou non son orientation sexuelle.

Brisant l’omerta qui règne sur le terrain, sur la glace ou dans le vestiaire, Franchir la ligne pose un regard touchant et inédit sur quelques-uns de nos athlètes gais et lesbiennes qui dévoilent au grand jour un pan de leur vécu. Au nom de la relève sportive, ils cassent les préjugés.
