RODEO
O.V. French subtitled in English and Spanish
Described as a mix of Titane, Fast & Furious and Girlhood (IndieWire), this vigorous debut took the Coeup de Coeur prize at Un Certain Regards in Cannes. Raw power overflows through the story of this peculiar "motomami": Julia, a young woman obsessed with high-powered motorcycles, speed and helmetless stunts on asphalt. In an underground world, a gang of men where she will have to fight her way through, and where she will have to remain on guard in order to keep her place and live her motorized passion.
