Truck-driver

1981 · 89 min

A genial, low-key road movie about working men, warm in its friendships and mild in its troubles.

Overview
This trucker road movie tells the story of four men driving 30-ton meat-carriers in shuttle service between Denmark and Italy. Against their will, the truckers get involved in criminal activities that flourish as a result of European custom service bureaucracy. Their bonding as friends and their strongly rooted family life help them through.
