Plot

In the gritty heart of Montreal, two lost souls, Benoît and Jimi, navigate the treacherous terrain of life and crime. Benoît, a 32-year-old seasoned car thief with an insatiable appetite for love, weaves a tumultuous path from one romantic entanglement to the next. His journey is underscored by the watchful eyes of Jimi, a 13-year-old street urchin yearning for paternal affection. Their common ground is their shattered pasts and a life of crime, stealing Jeeps for an underworld syndicate. Their lives are intertwined in a dance of stolen vehicles and fleeting love interests, resonating through the clamor of Montreal's cityscape and its eerie quiet corners. In this unconventional world, their bond strengthens, turning into an attachment deeper than kinship. Jimi, desperate for fatherly affection, has singled out Benoît. He yearns for Benoît's loyalty, for him to reciprocate the familial bond he feels. Yet, Benoît is ensnared in a relentless pursuit of love, attempting to fill the void with the affection of different women. As they rumble from one stolen Jeep to another, their unlikely friendship blossoms in the harsh city backdrop, in the dimly lit delis, and within the confines of their stark lives. Through their struggles, they find solace in each other. A 13-year-old waif discovers a father figure and a 32-year-old man uncovers a purpose in life: a surrogate son. Their tale is one of resilience, survival, and the unconventional love between a makeshift father and son.
