Luminous Motion
Movie description:
»Luminous Motion« tells the atmospheric story of a mother and 10-year-old son who are constantly in transition. Phillip lives his life as if it’s a fantasy, and the fact he is almost always riding in a car doesn’t help matters. As his mother begins to feel the need to settle down and stop the constant moving, Phillip must confront the real world. He befriends Rodney and Beatrice, two strange children, but eventually realizes that the back seat of his car was where he felt truly safe and free.

This is an adaptation of Scott Bradfield’s novel »The History of Luminous Motion« about an alcoholic mother. »Only two things mattered to me – being with my mom and being in motion« says ten-year-old Phillip, who teaches himself physics and biology as he’s driven about by his mother Margaret. After a car crash, they settle down with Hackensack hardware store owner Pedro. Phillip receives letters and phone calls from his dad. Eventually, mother and son leave Pedro to live on Staten Island – where the boy meets the strange teens Rodney and Beatrice, Pedro appears as a ghostly figure, and Phillip’s father turns up.
