Two drag racers cross the USA in a modified ’55 Chevrolet, picking up a hitchhiker and challenging the mysterious driver of a Pontiac GTO to a "pink slips" contest. Monte Hellman’s masterpiece, an enduring touchstone for Jean-François Stévenin, strips America down to the open road, where restlessness, companionship and longing play out across endless miles of asphalt.

Abandoned by his family at a motorway service station, an old man escapes from a care home and falls in with an unlikely group of fellow strays. Featuring his wife and three of his children, Jean-François Stévenin’s final film is a beautifully skewiff salute to those who find camaraderie outside the traditional family.
