About This Movie

It’s part road movie, part philosophical inquiry, as two travelers—tramps, really—wander through a landscape filled with oddball characters and unsettling encounters. The pacing meanders like the path they walk, blending comedy with moments of dark drama that leave you pondering the absurdities of life and faith. The practical effects aren’t flashy, but they’re effective in creating a dreamlike atmosphere that feels both familiar and unsettling.
