Synopse
When twenty-something Ben (Joshua Jackson) is diagnosed with a terminal illness, instead of seeking immediate treatment, he buys a motorcycle (an old Norton) and a cup of coffee. The coffee cup reads:"Go West!" Which is exactly what Ben does, to the horror of his fiancée and his family. A refreshingly amusing tale of self-discovery, full of screen busting landscape imagery, interspersed with mini episodes about the people Ben meets – and a great soundtrack by worthy representatives of theCanadian Indie scene.
