Synopsis: Performance artist Michael Richardt and his mother Malou are ready to go on a road trip around Denmark and Germany. Both to seek out the many short stops in the mother's life journey, and to rediscover each other. Michael has never known his African father, and the skeletons are rattling in the closet. But if you thought you had seen or heard it all before, then you are in for a surprise. The both flamboyant and sensitive Michael turns up on the day of the departure painted in blue. As in completely blue, from top to toe. His mother, who according to her own accounts has gypsy blood in her veins and has lived in almost 40 towns in Denmark, both with and without Michael, is more into pink, and has painted an old camper van completely in pink for the trip. She has mapped out the route, and the result is a documentary adventure full of surprises and random but oddly meaningful encounters with old friends and sympathetic strangers, who all give mother and son something they missed. Cecilie Debell has created a touching, funny and almost startlingly lively family story, where imagination has the first and last word. And a cinematic letter about tolerance in a time that desperately needs it.
