Étienne is a dedicated and passionate lorry driver. Spent on the road every week, to the detriment of his love life, Étienne makes do with brief encounters in car parks with strangers. But when he meets Bartosz, a Polish lorry driver, his heart is swept off its feet. Despite their incompatible schedules, Étienne is prepared to do anything to give this relationship a chance to flourish.
