Feeling a bit shallow here - but - an interesting concept with an ok result. No start or end, no explanations, abrupt repetitive actions and dialogue, no development or growth, no moment of enlightenment, endless travellers, trundling along pushing a cart from a grey nowhere to a grey nowhere. The story is bleak and their situation hopeless. Against this is the idea the boy is, "carrying the fire," and the bond of love that keeps the father and son together on their pointless journey. Unusual and poetic but it didn't have the "wow" factor for me.
