Long métrage 59:00 - documentaire - France
Réalisé par / Directed by Clément Armand
2025

Synopsis : Malo, diabetic for 10 years, refuses to let the disease dictate his life. He follows his passion for mountain biking, seeking a life like everyone else. Malo is living his first season in the French Cup as part of a UCI team (Union Cycliste Internationale). Little piece of sugar tells the story of this young man and his family, ten years after his diabetes diagnosis. Back then, everything seemed hopeless. Faced with an unmanageable diabetes, they spent weeks in hospitals without answers. A decisive encounter and advances in technology brought hope back into their lives. Together, they navigated this storm to support Malo. Family, friends, coaches, and teammates, all played a crucial role in helping him thrive. A hopeful film where sports break down prejudices and transcend the boxes imposed by society.

I have known Malo since he was just four months old. Over the years, I have witnessed his journey with diabetes—both in his everyday life and on the bike. By 2022, my passion for documentary filmmaking had grown, and I knew I wanted to tell his story. I am proud to have captured it on film. For me, this project is deeply meaningful: it’s about sharing his fight, inspiring others, and showing that it’s possible to thrive despite the challenges of living with a chronic illness. I wanted this story to reflect who Malo truly is—authentic, sincere, intimate, and full of purpose.
