When her tennis coach is detained for questioning, promising young player Axelle finds herself experiencing unusual emotions...

synopsis

Axelle, a promising young tennis player, is left in increasing desperation when she learns that her attentive coach Jeremy has been detained for further questioning. While rumours and emotions fly, Axelle secretly harbours her deep-felt emotions awaiting their reunion. When Jeremy is permanently removed from her life, Axelle must accept that her silence was not enough to save her hero. For the first time in her life she experiences the loss of love...
Axelle, jeune joueuse de tennis prometteuse, est désespérée d'apprendre que Jeremy, son coach attentionné, est détenu en interrogatoire. Tandis que les rumeurs se répandent, Axelle garde secrets ses sentiments pour lui dans l'attente de leurs retrouvailles. Quand finalement Jeremy se retrouve isolé de sa vie, la jeune Axelle réalise que son silence n'aura pas suffit à sauver son héros. Pour la première fois de sa vie, elle connait la perte de l'amour, pour laquelle finalement, elle fut seule et unique arbitre.
De leegte die coach Jeremy P. achterlaat in het leven van de 14-jarige tennisbelofte Axelle D. wordt groter en groter nu zijn aanhouding verlengd wordt. Stil wacht Axelle hun weerzien af. Wanneer duidelijk wordt dat Jeremy niet meer zal weerkeren, begrijpt Axelle dat haar stilzwijgen niet volstaan heeft Jeremy te beschermen.
