PONTIAC MOON

“Sometimes the journey of becoming a family can be as difficult as going to the moon.”

An absent-minded-professor father and his son take off in an old Pontiac to bond during a symbolic road trip through the Western U.S. This while his wife tries to overcome her neuroses to save the family.
