Leo is twenty six years old and lives a life in black and white. His days always begin at 6:06, between miserable jobs and an endless race to get the next dose. Drugs are not just an addiction, they are a mental loop that traps him in an eternal déjà-vu. Every attempt to change, to escape, always brings him back to the same point, the beginning. Then Jo Jo appears. Twenty, tough, enigmatic, she speaks only French and drives a caravan as if it were the only thing keeping her alive. She has her own demons, a recent loss, a void she carries with her like heavy luggage. Somehow, though, Jo Jo can see through Leo’s cracks. Together they set out on an on the road journey toward Portugal, across dusty roads and dreamlike worlds where their souls meet and finally speak the same language. Leo must face his personal hell, the drug addiction that consumes him. Jo Jo, instead, always seems on the verge of dissolving, as if she were there only to show him the way and then disappear.
