Sara Summa’s second feature centres on siblings Arthur and Diana setting off with Diana‘s 2-year-old son from Berlin to Paris for a quick, leisurely trip to renew the MOT certificate of their rusty old car. But the journey won’t be leisurely, the direction won’t be Paris, and whether the car will play along is definitely also rather doubtful. After an encounter with the police, an antagonistic stop at their mother’s place, an overly sensual party, a flat tyre, a funeral, and repeated and tumultuous exchanges in the car, they will end up all the way down in Italy, with a few more friends and hopes than they had set out with from Berlin.
