After spending several years in a mental institution, Charlie is sent home, reuniting him with his teenage daughter Miranda. However, Charlie becomes obsessed with the notion that a long-lost Spanish treasure is buried underneath their local grocery store. Initially sceptical, Miranda soon finds herself joining in Charlie's increasingly madcap antics in an effort to believe her father and give him one last shot at accomplishing his dreams.

Bande annonce
After years of being in a mental hospital Charlie is finally released, only to wrangle his teenage daughter into helping him look for buried treasure.-
The quiet, bruised intimacy of the film’s father-daughter relationship is beautifully played, and first-time screenwriter-director Mike Cahill’s wry grasp of the desert-suburban-sprawl milieu is refreshingly harangue-free.
Mark Holcomb, TimeOut London -
In updating Shakespeare's The Tempest, writer-director Mike Cahill focuses on the magic worth finding between a father and daughter. That's why the film sticks with you. It's a gift.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone -
Anyone with a dysfunctional family (admit it, that’s every one of us) will find something to laugh--and maybe cry--about in the quirky comedy.
Jenny Peters, Hollywood
