Blown Joan

A kid witnesses the disintegration of his older brother's love life in a car wash.

This film follows three teenage boys living in London during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a series of vignettes, we see their conversations and experiences, and how their perspectives on the present moment and their place in society are shaped by their interactions with the outside world. Despite their different backgrounds, their youthfulness aligns them in ways as they share a sense of uncertainty and a desire to function in this transitional period to adulthood.

An upside-down car sits untouched for weeks on a quiet street dividing Lambeth and Southwark.
