As Wendy sets out to reclaim her independence, she runs into a barrier common to many lifelong New Yorkers: she’s never learned to drive. When Wendy hires Darwan to teach her, her unraveling life and his calm restraint seem like an awkward fit. But as he shows her how to take control of the wheel, and she coaches him on how to impress a woman, their unlikely friendship awakens them to the joy, humor, and love in starting life anew.
Broad Green Picture’s upcoming slate includes the critically acclaimed Walk in the Woods, 99 Homes, Terrence Malick’s ‘Knight of Cups’, Voyage of Time, and his untitled project starring Ryan Gosling and Michael Fassbender.
