Messi and Maud

40-year-old Maud feels like she has failed. After years of trying, she and her husband Frank have to accept that they will never have children. While Frank puts all of his energy into making a new start, Maud continues to be obsessed with having a child. After one final quarrel on the subject, she abandons Frank to travel alone, without destination. One day, she catches a ride with a vulgar, sexually aggressive trucker and his young son, who calls himself “Messi”. In a moment of desperation, Maud flees the trucker with Messi in tow. The pair forge a fleeting yet fierce bond, becoming a sort of surrogate family of two.
