At the local racetrack, owned by his mother, he meets the mysterious Icelandic drag racer Aðalbjörg. At the same time, Alexandre is under investigation because a number of sexually explicit drawings that bear a striking resemblance to him appear on the door of a local church. THE NOISE OF ENGINES is semi-autobiographical: director Philippe Grégoire financed his debut feature with money he earned as a part-time customs officer in a small town on the Canada-US border.
