A bittersweet family road trip that balances chaotic humor with underlying emotional fragility, capturing both the absurdity and tenderness of being bound together.

A chaotic family is on a road trip across a rugged landscape. In the back seat, Dad has a broken leg, Mom tries to laugh when she's not holding back tears, and the youngest keeps exploding into car karaoke. Only the older brother is quiet.
