Story

The Beat poet Chuck Miller, as a young man, was on the road with Kerouac and Neil Cassady, the model for the main character of On the Road. Now 80, living alone in a railroad car in the corner of a junked car park in suburban Iowa, he has been writing continuously for six decades. The film Chronicles his daily life, poetry readings and a road trip. He's been driving, he's been sleeping in his car; He sailed into no man's land, to the end of the world...
