It's 1979 and Migue is about to go on the ride of his life to meet his dream girl Stella.

Forced to care for his little sister after losing both parents, a 16-year-old ends up in a foreign surf town with almost-senile grandparents, but soon finds solace in fantasies of a pin-up girl and sets out to find her. Hitting the road in a stolen car with an uninvited guest, his quest leads to miles of challenges, self-discovery and surprisingly, a new love.—Melanie McAvoy
