Along for the Ride

• Romance
• Drama

A wistful summer romance unfolds in the quiet, coastal town of Colby, where a bookish young woman on the cusp of adulthood seeks to break free from the shadow of academic achievement and a complex family dynamic. Drawn to a charismatic, nocturnal local with secrets of his own, she embarks on a series of unconventional nighttime adventures designed to unlock a lifetime of missed experiences – not as a quest for romance, but a hesitant exploration of vulnerability and the bittersweet acceptance of impermanence. The film delicately balances a gentle, developing connection with a poignant undercurrent of unspoken grief and the realization that joyful experiences can coexist with enduring sadness, crafting a uniquely melancholic yet ultimately hopeful portrait of self-discovery.
