It is a movie is about travel and experience, about the everyday life of a couple on a journey, with joy and sometimes weariness, with plenty of surprises and reflection about the lessons you learn when you are on the road for some time.
Together with Justine, we were slowly heading from the green landscapes of Central Europe across the Middle East until the luxuriant wadis of the Sultanate of Oman. This sets the background, but the movie is really about our life on the road, a human adventure filled with smiles and emotions, an invitation to slow pace travel, to let go of unnecessary things in order to make space for to leave a place for daily enchantment.
