Lu is eleven when her long-lost mother unexpectedly turns up and drags her along in her ramshackle sportscar. It turns into a memorable road trip. An adventure full of visual pranks, but with a serious undercurrent.
Eleven-year-old Lu lives in a foster family when her long-lost mother Karina unexpectedly turns up. Karina, who in Lu's imagination is a Hollywood star doing her own stunts, takes her daughter along on an adventurous road trip. In a clapped-out sportscar they head for Poland. Lu soon finds out it’s all or nothing with Karina, when she is swept along into a Bonnie & Clyde-like fantasy. But reality catches up with them and forces the twosome to make a choice. How far do they want to go to stay together forever?
