To earn a living, Johanna assembles luxury watches in a factory in Geneva. On top of her daily routine, this autobiographical cartoonist and heavy metal fan is passionate about mechanics and car racing. While trying to fix up her old VW Beetle to get back into drag racing, she faces the demons of her past in an exhilarating cycle of reparation and affirmation, punctuated with well-placed touches of humour. Shot on film over four years, this magnificent story inspired by Johanna’s real life reveals a multi-talented woman who impresses with her worldview and her dedication to her ambitions by redefining her own path.
