A middle-aged man’s life is turned upside down after a coup de coeur with a fellow long-distance truck driver in this neo-realist queer romance. Etienne is a seasoned long-hauler who has sacrificed relationships and a personal life for his profession. One night on the road, what seems to be a random hook-up with a Polish trucker turns into an unforeseen connection, but Etienne will have to contend with his identity as a committed workaholic for the relationship to go anywhere. FLESH & FUEL features a nuanced observation of a modern middle-aged gay romance that doesn’t come with a map, and outside the truck windows, a rapidly changing Europe.
