What happens
Rodeo (French: Rodéo) is a 2022 Canadian drama film, directed and co-written by Joëlle Desjardins Paquette. The film stars Maxime Le Flaguais as Serge, a truck driver who takes his young daughter Lily (Lilou Roy-Lanouette) on a cross-Canada road trip to attend a truck rodeo in Alberta, against the context of a dispute with his ex-wife (Whitney Lafleur) over custody of her. The film went into production in August 2021. Although not directly based on their real lives, the film was inspired in part by Desjardins Paquette's father, a professional truck mechanic with Kenworth's operations in Montreal. The film premiered on November 8, 2022 at the Cinemania film festival. It later screened in the Borsos Competition at the 2022 Whistler Film Festival. Commercial release is slated for early 2023.
