A young man is pushed to the borders of sexuality, sanity, and to the edge of the earth as he journeys from the north to the south of Chile to fulfill a promise. Filmed on location in Chile the film follows the grief-stricken Elias as he tries to make sense of the loss of his boyfriend Sebastien. He decides to take a cross-country road trip that the two had planned to take together. Elias makes off with his parent’s red pick-up truck and makes the journey southwards towards Santiago. As in all road movies, he encounters different travellers during the course of his journey. Produced without a music track, screenings are usually accompanied by live music.
