Synopsis

A woman fights to escape both her past and her future. A slow event about going fast.

For Sterling (Madison Pankey), a sort of present day Alice, the graveyard Lotus she redeems becomes a totem, a saturated phenomenon permitting her to move freely in time on a phantom road. It is a sort of Ford but never a DeLorean. A Southern woman with a fair deal of historical baggage and deep secrets, Sterling journeys back to her rural home, the Lotus takes her through the shadow of the valley into the adjoining worlds of the living and the dead. Desiring to become an F1 driver, Sterling must go fast/hard, against/through all tunnels imagined or concrete.

Director’s Comments

This time, I don’t have much to say. It is really all up on the screen.

Godard told me, when we were in pre-production on INSIDE/OUT, to shoot it like Ida Lupino’s “Hard, Fast and Beautiful” (1951).

This time, I really did.
