Synopsis

David Lynch's surprisingly minimalist road movie follows the tensions within a proud and persistent man whose body doesn't serve him as well as he would like. The film is inspired by the real-life journey of seventy-three-year-old Alvin, who in 1994 set out from a small town in Iowa to Mt. Zion, Wisconsin, in a John Deer garden tractor to visit his ill brother. After all, it would be completely unthinkable for him that someone would have to help him and give him a ride to his brother.
