Two teenagers are initiated to the singular mechanic waltz called the demolition derby. Christopher, 16, is preparing cars with his uncle while following the footsteps of his deceased father. His cousin Marika, 18, takes advantage of the derby to get closer to her own father. In that family from the Bellechasse area of Quebec, bonds are created while welding metal.
