The narrative follows Aaron, a barber stuck in his car on vacation, unable to drive to the beach. His friends join him, including Devin who is preparing for a job interview and Freddie who brings cannabis into the car. Trae offers hope through daydreams of a better life. The film touches on themes of race and class without becoming preachy. The group reflects the challenges of achieving upward mobility, as they find joy in mundane moments despite societal and economic pressures.
The characters here talk a lot about race, class, and the idea of living free without ever getting too preachy or heavy-handed about it.
A day off from this sideways existence feels like a luxury item, a slight step up from the used couch cushion one.
