Nitro

French-Canadian director Alain Desrochers follows up his feature-length debut THE BOTTLE with this tense, heart-pounding action-adventure that cracked the top 5 of Canda's box office during the height of the summer movie season that was otherwise dominated by Hollywood. When Max (Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge) learns that his girlfriend Alice (Myriam Tallard) will need a heart transplant, he goes on a desperate search to find a suitable organ in time. This leads him deep into the dangerous and lawless world of street racing, and also into the arms of competitor Morgane (Lucie Laurier).
