The weekend of the American bicentennial in Nova Scotia, 1976 - 15-year-old Kit (Dylan Authors) is running away from home to move in with his estranged mother to hopefully find himself. With the help of his girlfriend Alice (Julia Sarah Stone), he hitchhikes through the stunning maritime landscape towards the home of his glamorous, artistic mother Laura (Molly Parker). But as the kids near their final destination, the truth about their relationship and identities begins to unfold. Stunningly shot in black and white, enhanced with a killer ‘70s soundtrack, Bruce McDonald laces this charming coming-of-age movie with a welcome air of nostalgia and a touch of enchanted realism.
