United States, 2016, 88’, color, DCP
After her drug kingpin boyfriend frames her for stealing a fortune in cartel cash, 17-year-old Lydia goes on the run, with only one ally in this whole wide world: her perennial screw-up of a dad, John Link, who's been a motorcycle outlaw, and a convict in his time, and now is determined to keep his little girl from harm and, for once in his life, do the right thing.
"It’s always tricky to analyze your choices when you're in the process of making them. That comes next - I can relate this film to my previous work and naturally you can see some connections between all my films. It’s my belief that I pick a story based on the narrative, the drama and the story arc - rather than on some carefully mapped out process. I’m aware that my characters find themselves when they’re struggling, that they’re the rebellious kind and that in the final count their struggle will not make them any happier." [Jean-François Richet]
