Vic (Chris Galust) is a medical transport driver in Milwaukee whose day goes from hectic to off-the-rails over the course of this breathlessly freewheeling portrait of American dreams and disenchantment. As the hapless Vic shuttles a dizzying array of passengers—including a gaggle of Russian funeral goers, an Elvis super-fan, a meddlesome boxer, and Tracy (Lauren “Lolo” Spencer), a headstrong young woman with ALS—across the city, his journey becomes a window into American society in all its richness and complexity. Shot through with a wry humor and stylistic spontaneity, this stirringly compassionate shaggy-dog tale heralds the arrival of Kirill Mikhanovsky as one of independent cinema’s freshest and most distinctive voices.
