A Woman and Her Car

About This Movie

A Woman and Her Car is a raw, personal documentary that dives deep into the psyche of a woman confronting her past. It’s set against the ticking clock of New Year’s Eve 2003, which adds this palpable tension, almost an urgency, to Lucie’s journey. The film's pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to feel her emotional weight as she prepares to face her abuser. What makes it distinctive is how it intertwines her relationship with her car—it's not just a mode of transport, it’s a metaphor for her freedom and decision-making. Lucie's performance is hauntingly genuine, as every frame captures her struggle and determination without any gloss. It’s an intimate look at trauma, memory, and the search for closure.
