In a hilarious and heartbreaking mix, a dysfunctional family embarks on a road trip to a children’s beauty pageant in California. The story revolves around Olive, a seven-year-old girl with dreams of becoming the next “Little Miss.” Her family, a group of eccentric and contradictory characters, becomes her support, even though their personal traumas and conflicts complicate matters.
The grandfather, a cheerful, heroin-addicted old man, is the only one who truly believes in Olive’s abilities. On the other hand, her father, a failed motivational speaker, struggles to keep the family together while trying to implement his theories about success. The mother, a woman balancing the madness of her family with pragmatism, feels trapped between her own aspirations and the chaos surrounding her. Additionally, Olive's teenage brother has taken a vow of silence and is consumed by his own identity struggles.
As they journey down the road, tensions mount, and the family faces countless challenges, from car breakdowns to the revelation of dark secrets. But despite the adversities, the trip will teach them to understand themselves and each other. This touching and funny odyssey turns out to be an exploration of the importance of family, acceptance, and the fight for dreams, no matter how crazy they may seem.
