Against a dark background of run-down tower blocks, ten-year old Kylie (Leanne Kearney) indulges her love of driving in this enigmatic short from first-time director Rebecca Daly. A feeling that Kylie’s imagination has crept into her reality pervades throughout as Daly crafts an atmospheric exploration of themes of loss and youthful recklessness.
