When Sara, his internet love affair, stops answering his texts he decides to drive north in search of her, starting on what is apparently a fool's errand. He shows Sara's picture around, but nobody seems to recognize the woman. Until eventually one guy pops up, saying he can put the two in touch under very specific conditions.

VIBE

A quiet, searching film about a man adrift. It feels like a lonely drive through muted landscapes, punctuated by moments of raw vulnerability and the desperate hope of connection in a disconnected world.
