A cross-country bike trip from the Pacific NW brings 21-year-old Leo, unannounced, to his 91-year-old grandmother’s West Village apartment. Trapped in inertia and trying to escape his past, the young man’s world views are rattled by his grandmother’s recollections of her radical, bohemian past. Ideological sparks fly in this subtle, comedic drama as the two discover where their worlds intertwine.

“In 4000 Miles beautifully drawn characters meet the right actors.”
“O’Brien’s transformation is mesmerizing: The shaky hands; the small, scooting steps; the struggle for words and the sharp tongue when she finds them.”
