In 1943 Alastair Pennington was an 18-year-old bomber pilot on his first mission. He lost his way, and, harassed by enemy fighters, elected to jettison his bombs over what turned out to be a small village. Plagued by guilt for 65 years, he embarks on a long-planned journey of atonement, driving to Germany in the company of his wife Valerie and their "lovelorn and useless" son, Ross. When Ross reluctantly agrees to drive them, a nightmare family road trip ensues in this bittersweet comedy about love, family and dropping bombs. Although this begins as Alastair's journey, both Valerie and Ross end up on quests of their own as everyone's role in the family is re-evaluated and re-appreciated. [language]
