Just out of high school, Connor (Christopher Masterson, TV?s Malcolm in the Middle) is all set for marriage and the middle-class. But when what he thought was true love turns out to be nothing but a pack of lies, it?s time to step back and take a look at everything from a totally different perspective: one that?s far, far away. Heading down to Central America seems like something completely different, the perfect land for adventure. But, more than a little naïve, Connor gets in way over his head when he joins a motley group of travelers about to plunge into the jungle for a year-long expedition. Stripped of all comfortable familiarity, Connor must fend for himself and discover his own way through the bewildering maze of a strange new life. Part coming of age, part road movie, The Art of Travel twists and turns like a meandering river, with unexpected comic surprises popping up around every bend. Smart and funny, it?s a journey that won?t soon be forgotten. -Pete Crane, Cinequest
