I was really scared that something bad would happen to the girl, ie., that she would be kidnapped or the father would do something bad to her, but at the end I was confused. I understood there was something about illegal immigrants.
IMDB wrote:Newcomer Dalia Binzare stars as 8 year old Eva. She's super excited to be headed to the beach with her father (Florin Peltea), even though her mom is staying home. Eva's a bit surprised that they are making the trip in her father's big rig - a rumbling 18-wheeler, but her anticipation of frolicking on the beach allows her to roll with it.
Their trip runs from Montreal to Mexico, and only a quick glimpse of the border wall clues us (not Eva) in to the real purpose of the trip. Well that, and a general awareness that few men would leave their wife home and drag their daughter across two countries just so the kid could build a sandcastle or look for turtles.
So what was the purpose of taking the daughter to the trip? I guess I'll have to watch it second time more carefully...

I am going on what I vaguely remember from watching it probably over a year ago ...
Maybe to make it look to the authorities like it was just an innocent outing with his daughter and not a smuggling operation by some scoundrel?

It was a long trip and I was actually expecting the authorities to suspect something a la "Un confine incerto" in the first place, but maybe it was intentional to lead the autorities to wrong tracks.

I don't remember what, but I was expecting SOMETHING terrible ...
Actually, I don't remember how it ended, so maybe I should watch it again!

You could also try Amerikanskaya doch, it's been a long time since I watched it but I believe it would qualify as a road movie ...
I also personally love the movie The Journey of Natty Gann, not a road movie because cars were not quite there yet, but a travel movie which for me has the same feel ...
