SYNOPSIS

On a speedway lost on the border between Flanders and France, Alizée is a racing driver, just like her boyfriend, her father, her mother and soon her little brother. On Sundays, she unplugs her brain and steps on the accelerator to let off steam and become a heroine for a day, a race or a crash. But the circuit that has brought the community together for the last 40 years has to close due to administrative problems. How will Alizée and the community live without their reason for existing?
