After escaping unscathed from a car accident, photo model Simone decides that having a baby is the only way to give her vacant life some meaning. She asks her best friend Philippe to get her pregnant, and he reluctantly agrees, on the condition that they conceive somewhere in a desert, so they leave Montréal on a 24-hour round-trip to Salt Lake City to find a suitable spot.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tender, meandering portrait of two thirty-something friends on a surreal desert road trip, grappling with emptiness and the question of what it means to build a life. It feels like eavesdropping on a conversation that circles around answers without ever quite landing on them.
