Teenage Nola (Sabrina Carpenter) and her father (Steven Ogg) have made a home of the open road. The pair are always on the move in their refurbished RV, and as Nola explains it, they let the road tell them where to go. A new trailer for “The Short History of the Long Road” offers a peek into their unconventional lifestyle.

“Not everyone wants to live like you,” Nola tells her dad. Convinced that society will be better off once they build “an army of self-sufficient agitators,” he believes that fear is the only thing holding others back. “They’ve got their driveways, they’ve got their backyards, they’ve got their pools. We have our freedom,” he insists.

A sudden split with her dad sees Nola striking out on her own and figuring out what home means to her.

“I’ve always been drawn to road trip movies but wanted to see more female protagonists at the heart of them. I started to hatch the idea of Nola, a young nomad in America. When I learned about vandwelling, everything came together,” writer-director Ani Simon-Kennedy told us.

The filmmaker explained, “Nola feels most at home on the road because it’s the only lifestyle she has ever known. It is actually more of an anti-road trip movie, a story about someone used to perpetual movement who suddenly has to stand still.”

Simon-Kennedy made her feature directorial debut with “Days of Gray.”

Carpenter’s credits include “Tall Girl” and “Girl Meets World.”

“The Short History of the Long Road” hits select theaters June 12 and will be available to stream or download on demand June 16.
