Newcomer Julie Ledru excels as a young tearaway with a passion for motorbikes who finds herself drawn into a local bike gang’s dodgy dealings.
Julia (Ledru) loves urban dirt-biking but has no money to own her very own. The only solution? To steal one. It's on one of these stolen bikes that she encounters the B-More gang, a group who revels in the world of urban rodeos, a sub-culture of motorbike fanatics whose activities reach far beyond the stunts they revel in. Initially suspicious of Julie’s presence, her hustling abilities draw her into the fold, close to the gang’s imprisoned leader and his tough but troubled wife.
Lola Quivoron’s feature directorial debut is a rites-of-passage drama that launches itself into the crime genre at full throttle, packed with incredible bike stunts by stunt coordinator Mathieu Lardot, who has worked on major action films like Spectre and Mission Impossible: Fallout.
