Summary
A German journalist is driving across the United States to research an article; it's disappointing trip, during which he is unable to truly connect with what he sees. Things change, however, when he has no choice but to take a young girl named Alice with him on his return trip to Germany, after her mother--whom he just met--leaves the child in his care. Though they initially find themselves at odds, the pair begin to form an unlikely friendship.
