Parked

Fred lives a quiet, isolated life in his car, having lost all hope of improving his situation. That all changes when he forms an unlikely friendship with Cathal, a dope-smoking 21-year-old with a positive attitude who becomes his 'neighbor'. Sharing both laughs and hard times too, Fred and Cathal find the simple, free pleasures of life. Cathal is determined to make Fred sort his life out, and it works. Fred modifies his car, beats the welfare system and makes a friend in Jules, an attractive music teacher who lives alone nearby. But Fred struggles with his pride over whether to tell Jules about his 'home', and Cathal's life is threatened by his escalating drug habit. As they grow closer, the influence these three outsiders have on each other will change their lives. (Zlín Film Festival)
