Camion  is the third feature by Raphaël Ouellet, and screens in the festival’s Contemporary World Cinema programme. Ouellet is  a sometime collaborator of Denis Côté, whose  Bestiaire  is also screening at TIFF this year.

Synopsis

Sixty-year-old widower Germain (Julien Poulin) has always been a truck driver, but when he’s involved in a head-on collision that leaves a woman dead, his remorse leaves him unable to get behind the wheel again. Though he was not at fault, his life may be irrevocably altered.

Why should you see it?

Ouellet is a master of emotional, intimate drama, and Camion  recently won the Jury Prize and Best Director trophy at the Karlovy Vary film festival.
