Willy and Jojo are best friends. The two young men keep each other company and share a passion for motocross. Jojo trains hard for the championship, while Willy has not yet overcome the death of his father. One evening, Willy discovers Jojo's secret, which is in safe hands with him, but becomes his undoing in the small town on the Loire. A film about deep friendship, mourning, anger and homophobia in the male-dominated world of motocross, as well as the search for one's own path. The director, who comes from this area, has created a strong debut film with his talented actors, which was shown at Cannes this year and was named best international debut at the Jerusalem Film Festival.
