In the lush, isolated forests of the Pacific Northwest, Viggo Mortensen delivers a powerful performance as Ben Cash, a fiercely idealistic father who has raised his six children in a rigorous, off-the-grid paradise. Under his tutelage, his kids—including George Mackay, Samantha Isler, and Shree Crooks—become exceptional philosophers and athletes, living by a code that rejects modern consumerism. Their self-sufficient world shatters when a family tragedy forces them to leave the wilderness and confront the society Ben has long scorned. As they embark on a road trip in their makeshift bus, the Cash family’s radical beliefs and deep bonds are tested by the bewildering real world and the judgment of relatives like Frank Langella’s disapproving father-in-law. This poignant and thought-provoking drama from writer-director Matt Ross explores the meaning of family, the cost of principles, and the challenging journey of finding one’s place in the world.
