In 1943 Alastair Pennington was an 18-year-old bomber pilot on his first mission. He lost his way and, harassed by enemy fighters, elected to jettison his bombs over what turned out to have been a small village. Plagued by guild for 65 years, he determines to embark upon a long-planned journey of atonement, driving to Germany in the company of his wife Valerie and useless son Ross. A bittersweet comedy about family, memory, guilt, love and assorted annoyances.<br />
