Burt (John Krasinski) and Verona (Maya Rudolph) are in their early 30s and await the birth of their first child. Then Burt’s parents announce that they will move to Belgium rather than be there for their grandchild in the US. The couple is shattered: is this what real grandparents would do? What is the significance of family, anyway? They decide to travel, visiting friends and relatives to find out where they settle down. A warm, funny, bizarre and tragic film about basic human needs.
