With her parents’ car, Jenny and Marlek run away from their problems and end up between forest paths and big plans. In the morning, they wake up in a wooded area and must face the question: back home or on to Italy? Between car trunks and dreams of the future, it’s less about running away than about being there for each other and finding the courage to take the right path.
