Ben, a commuter and Motocross fan, and Gus, a taciturn farmworker are warring neighbours in a small Belgian village. Their feud culminates in a fight under Gus` tractor trailer which falls leaving them both paralysed. Released from hospital they return to their homes, both contemplating suicide. Self pity soon gives way to anger and Ben and Gus set off in their wheelchairs on a road trip across Europe. Their destination is Finland and the tractor trailer company, Aaltra, whom they intend to sue for compensation. The pair manages to upset and offend almost everyone they meet on their bizarre odyssey. An award willing, stoically crafted and intensely funny black comedy road movie featuring cameos by Jason Flemyng, Benoit Poelvoorde and Aki Kaurismaki, the likes of which has never been seen before.
