(Work in progress)
Synopsis:
A used car speaks to us during long night drives. After a debilitating breakdown, it joins a young family of three—two people and a dog—struggling with a housing crisis. Initially bought to carry belongings from place to place, the car begins to think. It finds itself drawn to Gaston Bachelard’s “The Poetics of Space” and reflects on home. “Come what may, the house helps us to say: I will be an inhabitant of the world, in spite of the world.” As the family moves between temporary places, the woman cares for the car—cleaning, polishing headlights—as if it were her home. Could it become exactly that?
