At the wheel of a barely working car, John Magaro portrays a quiet father, a widower and single parent known as Dad for much of the movie. Throughout most of the film, he and his 9-year-old daughter Ella (Molly Belle Wright) work together to push the struggling vehicle from the passenger side, suggesting they’ve done this multiple times before. Their collaborative effort signifies the children’s steadfast support for their parent who is striving tirelessly under the circumstances. Meanwhile, Charlie (Wyatt Solis), the 6-year-old son, sits in the back seat clutching Rex, their well-trained golden retriever. The kids are unaware of their destination, and truth be told, neither does Dad.
