About the film

A family birthday. A tiny car. A past they can't outrun.

When a stepdaughter and stepmother take an ageing grandfather to the birthday celebration of his son, who is also the stepdaughter's father and the stepmother's husband, what should be a simple drive becomes a journey through unresolved tensions, unexpected humour and the possibility of finding common ground.
