Roue de secours
In order to prove to the boss of Aventurier Magazine, who employs her, that she has what it takes to be an editor-in-chief, Camille signs up for an all-female rally in the Moroccan desert. When her teammate cancels at the last minute, she urgently needs to find a new co-pilot. That's when Laurence Bibouche, aka Laurent, an unemployed actor, divorced father of a young boy named Tom, and, incidentally, Camille's ex, shows up. He desperately needs to find a large sum of money to keep custody of his son and is counting on the check that will go to the winners of the rally. Will this duo come in first or be exposed and eliminated?
