2025 Movie 92 min
By: Baptiste Janon, Rémi Pons
Inspired by a novel by B. Traven about the life of Andrès Ugalde, a cart driver in 1920s Mexico, this film depicts his contemporary twin, a truck driver for a small transport company in Europe. As he puts in the hours, stuck in a race for profit, “Andrès” serves as a cog in a system that exhausts the men who make it function, and in so doing exhausts itself.
