  • An adventure both funny and tender in the little-known world of long-haul truckers
  • A well-researched story touching on issues ripped right from today’s headlines: prostitution, migrants, degrowth…
  It’s summer break for Djo! The 13-year-old would’ve liked to stay in his room playing video games, but he is forced to accompany his trucker father on the roads of France. Not exactly the vacation he dreamed of! As the countryside flies by, Djo must face up to the vagaries of travel, from odd encounters, familial tensions, and… first love! Little by little, he comes to savor newfound experience, develop a taste for adventure and freedom. An intimate road trip, tender and bursting with humor, that touches the heart with the truthful depictions of father-son bonding and how becoming a teen can turn your whole world upside down.
