Hauling freight along the same route, trucker Enrique battles the loneliness of the Atacama Desert, imagining his wife by his side. If only she'd stop urging him to come home. With growing unease, he sets off on the return trip.
When his path crosses Lara's, the impact knocks them both off their errant tracks to face unpleasant realities.
"In Crumple Zone, magical realism, represented by Chilean trucker Enrique, meets scientific disenchantment, embodied by American workaholic Lara. When these two collide, they must risk a glimpse at reality, blinking, peering through half-closed eyes, before they can face life with eyes wide open. The cultural contrasts blur as these characters lean on each other to emerge from the desert."
