Frank's travelling light but carrying excess baggage.

Drama

Eight months after the death of his wife, Frank Goode looks forward to a reunion with his four adult children. When all of them cancel their visits at the last minute, Frank, against the advice of his doctor, sets out on a road trip to reconnect with his offspring. As he visits each one in turn, Frank finds that his children's lives are not quite as picture-perfect as they've made them out to be.

VIBE

This is a quietly affecting journey through the complexities of family bonds and unspoken truths. It feels like a tender, melancholic exploration of a parent's enduring love and the often-imperfect realities of adult children's lives, wrapped in a reflective, bittersweet warmth that lingers long after the credits.
