Old Joy is the story of two old friends, Kurt and Mark, who reunite for a weekend camping trip in the mountains in Portland, Oregon. The trip signifies different things to them - for Mark a respite from imminent fatherhood, for Kurt a part of a long series of adventures. As the trip progresses and the landscape changes the friends go through subtle changes that make them examine their lives and look at whether they have grown too far apart.

Adapted from a short story by Jonathan Raymond, Old Jay is the latest hip indie film to come out of the US, and stars Daniel London and Will Oldham, [Also known as musician Bonnie "Prince" Billy] in the lead roles. Beautifully shot, the film picks out fragile moments in an extraordinary mountainous landscape symbolising the fragility of friendships when lives diverge. Since its rapturous reception at the Sundance Film Festival, Old Joy has charmed audiences at film festivals across the world who have responded with pure pleasure to this coming of middle-age story.

American rock band Yo La Tengo have scored Old Joy.
