Travelers on a design quest are willing to go to great lengths to find a place NO ONE has been to (at least no one they know) in order to experience the thrill of sleeping in a home designed by James Turrell or retreat to an island peppered with the works of Tadao Ando in remotest Japan (see: Naoshima Island).
The natural moments between them, which transcend the labored repentant-brother subplot, capture the thrill of finding a person who makes you feel like there is no one as smart, funny, or good-looking as the two of you.
