Petit’s “ambient road movie” – a rather non-specific journey from here to there and back again, wherever they may be – provides a meditation on the passing of time and ageing, progress and decay, describing the death of the tangible and the rise of the virtual, set against his relationship with his son in the wake of his own father’s death.
