以当今物质丰富的日本社会中，被人遗忘于一角的，每天无法吃饱饭的儿童们为视角拍摄的电影。小学5年级的勇人，父母经营着一家食堂，他和妹妹每天过着衣食无忧的安稳生活。另一方面，勇人的好朋友贵志家则是完全不管孩子的单亲妈妈家庭。因此勇人的父母经常把贵志带来家里吃晚饭。某天，勇人遇到了和父亲一起住在车里的两姐妹，他便拜托父母为她们做饭。几天后，两姐妹的父亲失踪了。于是勇人和贵志带着两姐妹开始了令人意外的行动......

A mother and father set out with their kids from New York to Arizona. In their used Volvo--and with their ten-year-old son trying out his new Polaroid camera--the family is heading for the Apacheria: the region the Apaches once called home, and where the ghosts of Geronimo and Cochise might still linger. The father, a sound documentarist, hopes to gather an "inventory of echoes" from this historic, mythic place. The mother, a radio journalist, becomes consumed by the news she hears on the car radio, about the thousands of children trying to reach America but getting stranded at the southern border, held in detention centers, or being sent back to their homelands, to an unknown fate.
But as the family drives farther west--through Virginia to Tennessee, across Oklahoma and Texas--we sense they are on the brink of a crisis of their own. A fissure is growing between the parents, one the children can feel beneath their feet. They are led, inexorably, to a grand, unforgettable adventure--both in the harsh desert landscape and within the chambers of their own imaginations.

In rural 1977 Georgia, a misfit girl dreams of life in outer space. When a national competition offers her a chance at her dream, to be recorded on NASA’s Golden Record, she recruits a makeshift troupe of Birdie Scouts, forging friendships that last a lifetime and beyond.
