| It was my Dad’s dream: to see different places and meet new people, to travel the United States in a van with my Mother; it never happened. Maybe it’s about fulfilling a lost dream and forming a connection… |

| Airstream is a symbol of America’s adventurous spirit and desire to be out on the road. Some people tow their Airstreams around the country; others find a place to park so they can live in their aluminum bungalows; an even greater number of Airstreamers spend countless hours caring for and restoring their capsules as a hobby. Regardless of how the pods are utilized, all Airstream owners share some common ground: they are passionate about Airstreaming; they know a tremendous amount about their particular trailer, and they are more than happy to talk about them. One popular way for Airstreamers to communicate is through the forum www.airstreamforums.com. Here, Airstream owners share ideas, frustrations, knowledge, and their property. In order to facilitate convenient and inexpensive travel, many members of the forum have signed up for “courtesy parking.” Participation in this program allows fellow Airstreamers to park their trailers on your property at no cost. Traveling throughout the United States towing a 1953 Flying Cloud Airstream, this film will document the spirits of the people and the places who participate in courtesy parking and have found a way to live part of their dream. |

| Do most people dream of living differently? If I diverge from a conventional lifestyle, will I find community? Do we all want to escape? |
