Pulang-Pergi: Yang Dibawa dan Ditinggalkan adalah sehimpun kisah perjalanan Alexander Thian bersama muatannya. Muatan itu menyembunyikan rahasia tentang seorang remaja kurus yang harus meninggalkan kampung halamannya, Pontianak, sejak kepergian sang ayah. Sendirian, ia menghadapi ketidakadilan dunia dan trauma akibat kehilangan, ditinggalkan, serta ditelantarkan. Alex menyusuri dunia dengan memanggul amarah terpendam, kekecewaan terhadap keadaan, perasaan kecil dan tak berarti akibat perundungan, serta depresi karena kesepian. Berlatar Pontianak, Malang, Bali, Belanda, Prancis, hingga Islandia, Alex membongkar muatannya satu per satu: memilih apa-apa yang akan terus dibawa hingga ke hari depan dan meninggalkan apa-apa yang memberatkan langkah di perjalanan.
