Description:
Clem and his best friend Eamon run away in the middle of the night with his father’s car. While the boys are on the road, stuck at home is Clem's sister Charlie. Silently suffering, she represents the neglect at home while Clem represents the freedom on the road, but the home and the road are both contaminated.
The film is ultimately about parents and teachers that aren't paying attention.
Breakdown:
| Role Name | Gender | Ethnicity | Age Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clem | Male | Caucasian | 15-17 | Misplaced in a special education school, Clem feels inferior and carries an impulse to run away from a place that cannot fulfill his needs. He is passive next to his aggressive friend, but learns along the road how to gain control over himself and of the space around him. |
| Eamon | Male | Any Ethnicity | 15-17 | Eamon carries an authoritative role alongside Clem. But with behavioral problems restrained through medication, he starts to break down during the trip after the meds run out, causing conflict between his goals and Clem’s goals. |
| Charlie | Female | Caucasian | 15-17 | Not taken care of by parents or teachers, she’s quiet and friendless minus the custodian at her school. She switches emotions off to the point of apathy because everything is upside down, waiting to burst. (Ages 13-17) |
