Black Car Home
From David PearsonAbout the film:
Black Car Home, is a darkly comic tale set in the run up to Christmas. Tatiana, a feisty illegal Latin American immigrant, is thrown overboard from a ship and told to ‘swim’. She is expecting to find New York, not the banks of the remote Severn estuary in England. She is rescued from freezing mud by Nathan, a rough giant of a man who lives in a makeshift camp by the beach. Tatiana is furious at being cheated by those on the ship and she is desperate to get away from here and to New York, well at least London. She angrily demands that Nathan takes her to London, but he flatly refuses. Initially hostile to him Tatiana begins to discover he's kind, resourceful and musical.
As their quirky friendship grows, she finds out more about his past and then an unexpected visitor launches them on their adventure. Hope comes in odd shaped sizes.
