Director's note

25 years ago, I walked with a video camera into the locker room of the national team. Those images grew into a short film titled 80 minutes. 25 years later I returned to an ideal locker room in which generations of rugby players review the toil and sacrifices they made, to reach the levels they have achieved today. Peace.
