Synopsis:

Parents often push their children to follow their steps. In this case, the father's obsession with the rally turns the kid into a car tire. Loosely inspired by the director's childhood, Sierra takes us into the surreal car racing world. Sierra is funny, surreal, and yet, at its core, it’s about love, about our need for intimacy, compassion, and, primarily, connection. Cloaked with the colors of a burnt sunrise and a sunset, simultaneously, the characters of Sierra learn to trust and love each other as if it were the first time: there is a new beginning rooted in this end and a promise: to go slower, to be alongside each other, for a change.
