Away We Go follows the troubles of expectant couple Burt and Verona as they embark on a journey of self discovery, and more importantly, a journey to discover the perfect place to raise their child.
The couple are caught in a crisis of confidence with the day ominously looming when the two thirty-somethings will have to confront the fact they’re not the free-living twenty-somethings they once were, and instead the responsibility of parenthood is upon them.
Away We Go - The Set Up
Burt – played by John Krasinski, who many will recognise as Jim from the US version of The Office – sells insurance futures over the phone and has a specially crafted 'phone voice' for grooming potential clients. Verona (Maya Rudolph) is an artist working freelance by drawing human anatomy for medical textbooks, a vocation she is able to fit around her pregnancy by working from the cramped environment of the couple's mobile home.
