Dreamy and magical road movie about freedom, friendship and aimlessness.
Milagros doesn‘t know if she really wants to be a mother. Jonathan prefers to pass his time (and cope with his fear of loss) on Grindr. Together, they literally flee from the reality of their lives and set off by car into an undefined future, which begins to take shape when they encounter a mysterious mermaid. On The Go seduces with its lightness, plays with the concept of displacement, and is whimsical, free, and sexy.
The film is a collaboration between two fascinating filmmakers: María Gisèle Royo, an award-winning director who has traversed the Pan-American Highway without the aid of Google Maps, effortlessly transfers this spirit to On The Go. Julia de Castro is a multimedia powerhouse who explores her interest in concepts of sex and the body through music, literature, theater, and film.
