Daphne films her own, bare down to the soul, process of orienting herself in a world made incomprehensible by the loss of her 9 year old daughter Olivia and husband Holger. She, her son Espen and daughter Lilly are survivors of this family of five. The go to phrases "You have to move on, let go" and "Everything happens for a reason", only add to more trauma and pain. Her reaction is to simply do anything. Daphne's instincts push her to drive out onto familiar dessert roads with fifty of Olivia's Barbies. She retraces the last road trip she took with her children after doctors told her Olivia would not make it. They had lived in a cancer world for four years. This new adventure begins at the family's previous home in Milan, Italy. Daphne then gets a foot hold in Las Vegas and ends up deep in the canyons of Zion, Utah. She creates her own visceral vocabulary for trauma and healing on this powerfully raw journey and turns the idea of "letting go" upside down. Daphne takes us onto the literal and figurative road with her, weaving fragments of the past into the present, unearthing the extremes of loss and love while carrying us into the heart of what it means to be alive.
