A truck, a dream, and a dad who'd rather haul freight than feelings.
After a difficult separation, Serge Jr. takes his daughter Lily, 9, on a truck ride across Canada. They head to Alberta and its legendary Badlands World’s Best Truck Rodeo, a race Lily and him have been dreaming about. On the road, under his daughter’s increasingly worried gaze, Serge will eventually need to face the music.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Badlands truck rodeo is a real Alberta tradition, making this Quebec production's westward gaze a fascinating national tension — French-Canadian director chasing cowboy mythology.
The film deliberately inverts the American road movie: no redemption arc, no bonding montage, just the crushing weight of a man who built his identity on engines he can't outrun.
