Life, death, dreams, and nightmares -- just a few of the many things that uproot us from our every day and motivate movement. A collection of stories about those who want, or need, to get away.

Three Addis Ababa-based teenage boys embark on a road trip to Lake Langano. Throughout this journey, Tefera, Omar, and Yoni must navigate cultural differences and shifting societal expectations that ask them to engage with ways of being that are not their own.
