Swedish filmmaker Filip Hammar is worried about his 80-year-old father’s depression, and he gets an idea to restore Lars’ “spark of life” by recreating the same car trip to Paris that the family made every summer when Filip was a child. He even buys a doppelganger of their old family car — a vintage, bright orange Renault 4-door. With his best friend Fredrik along for the ride, and secretly staging some of the most beautiful moments of Lars’ life, the hilarious adventure begins. Of course, the road trip does not go as expected, and the Renault, which has a maximum speed of 40 miles per hour, soon becomes the most overtaken car in Europe. This poignant film is a heartwarming testament to a son’s deep love for his father. SUBTITLED
