Lust for Life

A powerful documentary chronicling the resilience of Paralympic athlete Desirée Vila, a symbol of inclusive sport. At just sixteen, she was a national rhythmic gymnastics champion when medical negligence following an accident led to the amputation of her right leg. Refusing to give up, she reinvented herself and, within a year, became Spain’s national champion in sprinting and long jump. On the track, she discovered a new passion — and with it, the strength to inspire others through her story of perseverance, acceptance, and rebirth.
