The Leisure Seeker

Watch Trailer

Back when John and Ella Spencer (Donald Sutherland and Helen Mirren) were young, the ’75 Winnebago Indian they christened “The Leisure Seeker” was a beloved family getaway. Now, the Leisure Seeker has become their actual getaway vehicle, an escape from their well- intentioned but overbearing middle- aged children. Faced with more caregiving than they care to accept, John and Ella resolve to enjoy the freedom of one last RV road trip on their own.

The runaway couple goes on an unforgettable journey in the faithful old RV while traveling from Boston to The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum in Key West. They recapture their passion for life and their love for each other on a road trip that provides revelation and surprise right up to the very end.
