Douglas and Connie Petersen, a British couple with their 17-year-old son Albie, are about to embark on a three-week summer vacation across the continent. The trip is planned as their final family adventure before Albie heads off to art school in fall to study photography. Despite Connie's recent announcement that she believes their marriage is over after twenty-four years of being together, they plan to keep it secret from Albie until their return home. Their love story has been a classic case of opposites attracting: Douglas, a left-brained biochemist turned pharmaceutical company manager, and Connie, a right-brained bohemian artist. However, this union seems to have failed due to Connie's unhappiness in the marriage, as indicated by her recent proclamation that their relationship is over. Albie has never truly connected with his father before, often feeling like he was more like his mother. This rift between Douglas and Albie remains unresolved, even though they had always been a perfect match according to Connie. For Connie, this trip represents an opportunity for bonding with Douglas, hoping it can bridge the gap in their relationship. For Albie, it's about exploring his artistic potential without the constant supervision of his father. Douglas sees it as three weeks dedicated to winning Connie back and possibly finding that bond between them. However, he may not be aware if this also means reconnecting with Albie on a deeper level.
