Following the unfortunate passing of King Kong in a workplace accident, his wife and son must embark on a cross-country road trip to collect and scatter his ashes. Operating under the guise of a road movie, the film acts as a reflection of the characters’ emotional journeys by creating both a meditative experience through the use of longform shots of landscapes, and a fleeting encapsulation of the world contained within a camcorder.
