Storia
Kaisa (Lena Headey), a successful London lawyer with a troubled personal life involving cocaine use and one-night stands, receives a call from her mother in Aberdeen asking her to collect Kaisa's estranged alcoholic father in Norway. Reluctantly agreeing, Kaisa embarks on the journey, which becomes complicated due to her father's drunkenness and Kaisa's impulsive behavior leading to them being banned from their airline. They resort to traveling by ferry and car, with help along the way from a sweet lorry driver named Clive. The trip is ultimately a ruse orchestrated by Kaisa's mother who is dying and wants to reunite her family before she passes.
