A summer motorcycle trip across the American West undertaken by a father and his son, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a personal and philosophical odyssey into fundamental questions of how to live. Can a parent’s ferocious love for their child counter the everyday confusions of existence? Might the care for a technological object like a motorcycle lead to clarity?
