About this movie

John O'Groats, Scotland: The heart-warming tale of an old man whose wife has just passed away, and with his free local bus pass travels to the other end of the UK, from where they had originally moved. Using only local buses, he goes on a nostalgic trip but also carries his wife's ashes in a small suitcase, 'taking her back', and in doing so he meets local people, and by the end of his trip he's a celebrity. But he's also unwell, so it could be his last bus ride.

Ratings and reviews

Predictable but slightly disappointing. A little more meat in the scenes and characters and it could have been a gem.
