Upon a father's death, a family secret is revealed, compelling his son Fernando to find Teresa, a street-hardened woman he's never known. Despite their palpable contempt for each other, he agrees to drive her (in the cramped quarters of his unreliable VW Bug) to meet up with her daughter in an unmapped mountain village "about two hours away". Or so he's led to believe. After days of wrong turns, detours and unexpected encounters across remote, captivating landscapes, their predicament grows treacherous, and Fernando and Teresa must confront their demons, the past, and each other to have any hope to survive. If they can somehow reach their destination, the revelations that await them could transform their relationship and their lives.
