"You forget what you want to remember, and you remember what you want to forget." - Cormac McCarthy

An adventure where almost no hope remains and the protagonists must survive in a world where almost everyone has perished. Sustained solely by love, they keep going without giving up, in hope that everything turns out they way they want. It's a touching title where you can witness how the father-son tenderness is able to keep them alive.

The Road demonstrates how corrupt people can be when they have no rules that bind them.
