Lost in Translation -- Bob gets some strange directions from a photographer during a photo shoot.

Taking Chance -- Based on real-life events, Lt. Col. Michael Strobl (Bacon), a volunteer military escort officer, accompanies the body of 19-year-old Marine Chance Phelps back to his hometown of Dubois, Wyoming.

Road, Movie -- Vishnu, a young man driven by wanderlust, escapes his father's faltering hair oil business.

An old truck beckons, which Vishnu sees as his ticket to freedom. He offers to drive the
antique Chevy across the desert to the sea, where it has been sold to a local museum. As he
sets off across the harsh terrain, he discovers he’s not merely transporting a battered vehicle,
but an old touring cinema.

Along the way, Vishnu reluctantly picks up a young runaway, a garrulous old entertainer and
a striking gypsy woman. Together they roam the barren land, searching for water and an
elusive fair. The journey turns dire when they are waylaid by corrupt cops and a notorious
waterlord.

The key to their freedom is the eccentric collection of films and the two forty-year-old film
projectors in the back of the truck. As in 1001 Nights, if the films are good, they live and
move on. If the films are boring, they face death in the outback.

The journey proves transformative for each of the travelers, but especially for Vishnu who
discovers life, love and laughter on the Indian highway.
