Breaking Away background

Breaking Away

A small-town Indiana teenager pursues his passion for cycling and navigates love and identity alongside his friends.

Four high school friends, all "cutters" from a working-class background, struggle to find their place in life after graduation. Despite their differences, they share a sense of aimlessness and uncertainty. One of them, Dave, is a talented bicycle racer who idolizes the Italian cycling team and pretends to be Italian to impress a college co-ed named Katherine. As Dave navigates his relationships and prepares to enter a prestigious cycling race, he must confront his true desires and find a path forward.
