Jacob Olsen’s review:
A truck driver on his way to Buenos Aires reluctantly has to take along a woman and her young child. The film, bearing very little dialogue, shows us how their relationship develops during the long trip.
This one has no twists or unforeseen events lurking in the shadows, it plots out nicely and comfortable. It really doesn't take a genius to see where it all leads in the end, it's just a warm story full of heart.
Best out of three.

I think I saw that one many moons ago. Do they stop at some decrepid looking diner or something at one point where she stays and takes a job cooking or something? He leaves but then comes back because he's forming an attachment to them?
No, that's not it - they stay together pretty much the whole time during the trip.
