What does it mean to lose someone who meant so much to you? In this documentary, the lens is turned onto Bruno Agostinelli, who was the boys under 14 National Junior Tennis Coach at Tennis Canada. The 28-year-old was killed in a motorcycle crash just two weeks after his son, Alessio, was born. The news shocked the entire Canadian tennis community, as well as his loved ones. Alessio is now two-and-a-half-years-old, and is already taking group tennis lessons. He is also expressing an interest for the sport, like his father did. This documentary features Bruno’s wife Andrea Agostinelli, his co-worker Dean Coburn, and his student Nick Lagaev.
