About

Étienne, a gay French truck driver, meets Polish trucker Bartosz, and their romance is complicated by the demands of their jobs.

Étienne (Alexis Manenti) is a gay French truck driver whose routine on the road is interrupted when he meets Bartosz Kaminski (Julian Świeżewski), a Polish trucker. The two men are quickly drawn to each other and begin a romance, but their demanding jobs make the relationship difficult to combine with life on the road. Pierre le Gall directs the French-Polish drama Flesh & Fuel, in which Étienne struggles to balance his work as a driver with his connection to Bartosz.
