Synopsis :

Set in the 1990s, Our Lady of Good Voyage captures the desultory and liminal feeling of the decade. In a tale reminiscent of McMurtry or Kerouac, cynical yet lyrical Joe and mystical, ridiculous Kenny light out for the territory, pursuing Kenny's dream-vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Their quest takes them from the backwater neighborhoods of Cincinnati, Ohio through many other less-loved provinces of America, all the way to the Mexican border and even, thanks to the US Army, on a brief stint in Somalia. Whether these young men find success of any kind is perhaps hard to say, but a strange blessedness nonetheless seems to preside over their many comical failures.
