Synopsis: Philippe Croizon, a 26-year-old metalworker working at the Fonderies du Poitou, never imagined that his life would change dramatically on March 5, 1994. That day, the young father received three 20,000 V shocks while attempting to dismantle the television antenna attached to the chimney of his house in Saint-Rémy-sur-Creuse. After two months in a coma, he woke up with all four limbs amputated. Thus began what he calls his “second life,” which allowed him to overcome his disability, meet his partner, Suzanna Sabino, and achieve incredible sporting feats, including swimming across the English Channel in less than 24 hours.
