A road trip across the country leads to a sad confirmation - the denial has become institutional.
A suicidal young guy meets a little girl with life-threatening cancer while a vocalist with stage fright tries to overcome her condition with the help of a musician. This is a film about living and loving, a film that embraces the ordinary.
