I Don't Care

Set in the run-down resort town of Porthpunnet, I Don't Care tells the story of Luka Bartholomew, who cares for his bed-ridden mother. On his thirtieth birthday, his mother hires a carer, giving him a rare day off. While exploring the beach, he encounters Dan, a young man living in a camper van, and they connect over their shared interest in art.

However, the encounter takes a turn when Dan reveals his sexual orientation and makes an unwanted advance towards Luka. Disillusioned and under the influence of alcohol, Luka then meets Phil, a middle-aged biker who offers him a chance to escape his current life. Ultimately, Luka faces a decision about his priorities and the life he wants to lead.
