    • Synopsis
    • Serge Jr. is a tempered man. The kind to let his impulses take over when things go south. He shies away from conflicts whenever possible. Yet there are two things that can calm him down: his truck, a modified Kenworth W900 dubbed Lil’Rex55, and his daughter Lily, 9. His lioness, the one who loves blasting metal songs with him, playing air drums with pepperoni jerkies as sticks, the one who shares his need for speed and passion for revving engines. When his ex Jessica, his ex whose the relationship has turned sour, announces that she, her new boyfriend and Lily will be moving to Côte-Nord, an 8-hour drive, Serge just loses it. Without telling a soul, he takes Lily in his truck and heads for Alberta. At long last, they will be able to enter the legendary Badlands World’s Best Truck Rodeo, a truck race. They both dreamed so much that this day would come…

      Together, they have three days to cross Canada. Three days of rugged, majestic landscapes, under Lily’s increasingly worried gaze. Three days that inevitably lead to Serge facing the consequences of his actions, as real life slowly catches up to them.

      From high-octane exhausts to the melancholy of a journey with no return, from the euphoria of a stolen reunion to pervasive doubts, this road movie suffused with raw poetry, unvarnished humanity and sensitivity delves in its own way into the deep mystery of father-daughter relationships.
