Synopsis
Spoiler shield
Simon, an itinerant "new age" preacher, picks up Gael in his camper, without knowing that the young man is wanted by the police for having freed animals destined for vivisection. And, as if that wasn't enough, Charlotte, a young single mother, and Lucas, her baby, wanted by gangsters, are hiding in his vehicle.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
