QUEER EXPRESSION presents a special Chicago screening of FLESH AND FUEL, the striking new queer drama from filmmaker Pierre Le Gall. Étienne is a young man whose life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Bartosz, a Polish truck driver. What begins as a chance meeting develops into an intense and complicated connection, unfolding against a world of highways, truck stops, physical desire and emotional uncertainty.

Starring Alexis Manenti and Julian Świeżewski, Flesh and Fuel is an intimate story of two men drawn toward one another while navigating barriers of language, circumstance and the lives they have already built.
