Willy is a mechanic for Motocross racer JoJo. The two youths are inseparable friends who share not only the love of their sport, but the love of life. When Willy discovers a secret JoJo has been keeping, life will change as the childhood for the boys abruptly ends. Block Pass paints an incredibly keen portrait of the macho culture at work in a region where going against the grain is never easy, where being gay is reviled, where fathers’ burdens weigh on the fates of their sons, and where tendencies to self-limit impact horizons and futures, resulting in mental ruts which are hard to escape.
