SYNOPSIS
Leo is twenty-six years old and living a life in black and white. His days always start at 6:06, filled with miserable jobs and an endless race to secure his next fix. Drugs aren’t just an addiction; they’re a mental loop that keeps him trapped in an eternal déjà vu. Every attempt to change, to escape, always brings him back to the same point: the beginning.
Then comes Jo-Jo. Twenty, tough, enigmatic, she speaks only French and drives a caravan like it’s the only thing keeping her alive. Jo-Jo isn’t an easy salvation, she’s not a heroine, but she’s the chaos Leo needs to break the pattern. She has her own demons: a recent loss, an emptiness she carries like heavy baggage. Yet, somehow, Jo-Jo can see through the cracks in Leo.
ENGLISH: Together, they embark on a road trip to Portugal, through dusty roads and dreamlike worlds where their souls finally meet and speak the same language. But this isn’t a straightforward redemption story. Leo must confront his personal hell, the addiction that’s consuming him. Jo-Jo, on the other hand, always seems just one step away from vanishing, as if she’s there only to show him the way before disappearing.
It’s a race toward something that might save them—or destroy them. “6:06” is a journey, a race, a physical and mental escape, where love isn’t a solution but a new language, a weapon to fight pain and addiction.
