# Volvo Trucks — The Epic Split

A single-take stunt film: a camera pulls back from a close-up of Jean-Claude Van Damme standing between two reversing Volvo FM trucks until he slowly lowers into a full split across their mirrors at sunrise. There is no hard cut and no voiceover, only a gentle soundtrack and two lines of end text.
