Description
French truck driver Étienne lives a life of grinding loneliness. The only intimacy he knows takes place in dark parking lots or on the side of the road. That changes when he meets Polish driver Bartosz. Even though they were only meant to share a fleeting encounter, they keep crossing paths, and a subtle romance begins to blossom. This tender and unexpected love story, director’s Pierre Le Gall feature debut, won the Queer Palm Revelation Prize at Cannes this year.
