Their road trip to Switzerland isn’t just about the destination; it's heavy with emotional weight. The Fiat Panda serves almost as a character itself, symbolizing the past and the burdens we carry. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of silence to hang in the air, making you think. Performances are solid, especially the chemistry between the leads, which feels very authentic.
