This delightful brief animated film conjures up memories of family road trips on Sundays to ordinary places. Locations that for children are not meaningful in any way but with time have a special place in our hearts and become a piece of the framework that is ingrained in our recollection. We recall the sounds, smells and interactions that we had with siblings and friends while riding in the back seat of the family vehicle; with siblings who use their imaginations to entertain and engage in activities to offset the boredom that often takes place on these types of afternoon adventures. This particular story, set in the 1970s is of a family of sisters who use their resourcefulness during a road trip that covers the Canadian grasslands and discover that storytelling can be magical, clever, entertaining and lots of fun when you cooperate with others and use your ability to imagine.

While this short animated film is set to capture the scenery of the early 1970s, the juvenile actions and behaviors of the family is timeless. This short animation is recommended for elementary school aged children and can be watched in both English and French languages.
