Joyride
Synopsis
JOY and MULLY are two lovable rogues, diamonds in the rough.
JOY (Olivia Colman) is pissed off – she’s got a baby, and motherhood does not come naturally. She’s had to toss aside her own dreams and give this screeching monster unconditional love. When she looks in the mirror, she sees a train wreck and the shadow of her neglectful mother.
Twelve-year-old MULLY (Charlie Reid) also has a mum-shaped void. His dad’s a conman using him for his dodgy criminal habits. Mully nicks his dad’s cash and steals a taxi - only to find Joy passed out in the back seat, holding a baby!
Their riotous misadventure becomes a feel-good, foul-mouthed fairy tale of two lost souls finding connection, redemption, and a second chance at love.
