"Sanity and madness has played on my mind almost my entire life. But when I tell stories I desire to bring something more than darkness - I want to bring humour, kindness, connection, hope and light: the possibility of something to make us all carry on." Carol Morley
From acclaimed British filmmaker Carol Morley, this dark and funny exploration of the growing friendship between two women as they hit the road is filled with adventure, humour and compassion.
Artist, outsider and rebel Audrey Amiss (Monica Dolan) is convinced by a dream that she hasn’t got long to live and decides that she must have an exhibition of her art before it is too late. She persuades her Psychiatric Nurse Sandra (Kelly MacDonald) to drive her from London to a gallery in her birthplace in Sunderland.
Opting to not take the motorway, the two decide to take the long way round - trundling in Sandra's electric car on B-roads to their destination. But with so many deviations along the way, will they ever even make it?
