About
The second feature from playwright Anthony McCarten (Ladies' Night) is a small tale with some big themes. Set in a New Plymouth car yard, it follows an endurance contest in which a car will be awarded to the person who manages to keep their hands on it the longest. As night falls, solo mother Jess (Melanie Lynskey from Heavenly Creatures) finds herself fending off the attentions of an obstinate competitor (Craig Hall), with a much harsher vision of the world than hers. Inspired by similar real-life contests, McCarten based the film on his novel Endurance (2007).
