Three unlikely companions spend the day together traversing a city which has been declared an emergency area. They are a little girl with an active fantasy life, a Zen-spouting mechanic, and an elderly professor. Together, they traverse the city and overcome the obstacles of roadblocks, etc., as they seek to get the professor to the hospital. Perhaps in homage to the Ingmar Berman film Smultronstallet, or Wild Strawberries, at the end of the film we see that these events are the professor's memories as he lies in his hospital bed. It is not clear which memories were based on real events, and which were hallucinatory. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
