Synopses & Reviews
Having barely seen each other in three decades, two friends impulsively decide to take a cross-country road trip. For one, the trip is a chance to take a few swats at a question that buzzes like an old bug in his postreligious soul, What do I believe? Not just about God, but about morality, mortality, meaning, and the whole so-called spiritual side of life? For the other, the journey is the culmination of a lifelong struggle to confront a buried demon and reunite with a family from whom hes been estranged for his entire adult life. What begins as a mundane drive becomes a quest for what really matters; a soul-searching, thought-provoking, oddly mythic, often hilarious, always human odyssey, as these two very different people join forces to keep a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle alive long enough to reach the distant shores of home.
Synopsis
The spiritual quest of a skeptical guy on a road trip across America with a long-lost friend in a beat-up Beetle.
