Monuments

In the delightful new road trip comedy, *Monuments*, a young widower navigates through his sorrow, loss, and family chaos by taking his wife’s ashes and embarking on a spontaneous journey across America’s heartland. Ted, played by David Sullivan, meets a variety of quirky individuals, including his adversary Howl, portrayed by Javier Muñoz, who both guide and mislead him in his quest to rediscover something he had lost long before his wife Laura, played by Marguerite Moreau, passed away. *Monuments* blends humor and optimism into a narrative about grief, loss, and marriage, making it one of the most uplifting indie films of 2021.
