Set against the backdrop of the 2008 economic crisis, Omaha follows a struggling father who embarks on a road trip across the American West with his two children, Ella and Charlie, in search of hope and a better life. What begins as a seemingly spontaneous family journey gradually reveals deeper layers of both grief and resilience, as Ella starts to sense that her father’s intentions may be masking a more profound truth.

At its heart, Omaha is a story about fatherhood. In his feature directorial debut, director Cole Webley captures the universal journey of a father who deeply loves his children but is uncertain about how to navigate the challenges they face. Through the family’s road trip across the American West, the film explores the complexities of love, responsibility, and the search for meaning in the face of hardship.
