Sam and Tusker have been partners for 20 years. They decide to travel by their old campervan across England to visit friends, family and all the places which remind them of their past. Two years earlier Tusker was diagnosed with a disease: therefore, time together is more and more precious since that time. This is a film about the power of love which manages to overcome hardships.
