You've got Van, a homeless guy who’s made a car park his home, and his interactions with Carla, a free spirit looking to connect. The film captures that raw, authentic feel of desperation and hope. Des adds another layer with his struggles—a pregnant girlfriend and looming threats from local gangsters. Tommy, the junkie, rounds out the ensemble, showcasing the harsh reality of addiction.
