Elliott is a product of the foster system, with no family. When his childhood friend Matt dies, he goes to the funeral and overhears one of Matt’s friends and Matt’s ex-girlfriend planning to take some of Matt’s ashes to Mexico. Elliott insists on joining them, and the three set out on an odyssey. This is a fairly typical independent film in many ways, with those failings. One character drops out of the film with little or not explanation. the logistics of the ending are completely unexplored. However, it’s very different in tone from the usual Hollywood fare, which makes it a nice change for those who don’t mind its rather loose plotting.
