This vivid family history uses innovative, atmospheric computer animation and treated album photographs, with Bill Paterson in live-action as the father.

We've all taken road trips with our families. But did your family ever see these excursions as a cheap form of family therapy? Catch the real-life story of a shy and awkward father who drives himself to become a better parent using the family car.

”our dad took us on motoring holidays of a lifetime..."

The real-life story of a shy and awkward father who desperately wanted the family car to make him a better parent.

The film is based upon the family folklore and memories of his children. After his death they realize that their first and only family car, once a luxurious chariot to endless holidays in paradise, had gradually become a painful vehicle of his affection.

Their dad's struggle to be a loving parent had turned into a battle against rust.
