About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like intimate, slow-burn road stories where small gestures matter more than plot, similar to Liverpool or Bombón El Perro; Not for you if you need constant action or lots of dialogue.
Pros: quietly heartwarming journey; strong natural performances; immersive road-trip feel | Cons: very little happens; minimal dialogue; slow, subdued pace
