Just when 18-year old Lola learns she can finally have gender affirmation surgery, her mother (and her only financial support) passes away. Abiding by her mother’s last wishes, Lola and her father Philippe, who are permanently in conflict and have not seen each other for two years, undertake a journey all the way to the Belgian coast. With the urn and their troubled past between them, they have to come to grips with their grief and feelings. The outcome of the journey may not be the one either of them was expecting. Young trans actress Mya Bollaers brings energy, determination and authenticity to her role as Lola in this father-daughter road trip film.
