Nebraska

Nebraska follows Woody Grant, a stubborn aging man who believes he has won a million-dollar sweepstakes prize and insists on traveling from Montana to Nebraska to claim it. His son David reluctantly agrees to drive him, and the road trip becomes a touching and humorous exploration of family, memory, and the American Midwest. Shot in stark black and white, the film is a tender meditation on fathers, sons, and the quiet dignity of ordinary lives.
