A film about taking the road that adds an hour and gives something back.

An unhurried drive through County Antrim, filmed from lay-bys, field gates and wherever the road felt worth stopping for.

Sometimes the detour is the whole point.

FROM THE NOTEBOOK
“I missed the turn, kept going, and found the film.”
