A young forty-something, Tom Paradise refuses to grow up. Behind the wheel of his bus he drives endlessly through the city, tracing out the path of his life, dreaming of the landscape of the American West that forever impressed him. In love with freedom and Jack Kerouac's On the Road, he resists all the sensible people who try to persuade him to settle down. For Tom has only one idea in his head: to once again head south, riding the waves of love and fate. But where will all this lead, this path that has so obsessed him? In French with English subtitles.
