Nicolas Puyjalon invents derisory tools made of fragile salvages, with which he builds makeshift vehicles. Straddling these unusual objects made of tape and bits of wood, he embarks on an uncertain and poetic crossing, seeking to reach as quickly as possible, despite the obstacles he has created for himself, the other side of a space that he himself has delimited. The useless effort, the absurd and magnificent confidence in the fragility of his own production, the crossing itself, are at the heart of his work: a fast-paced road movie about the will to do and the determination.
