When a sudden twist of fate leaves Jon without a home, he’s forced to live in his car, caught in the ripple effects of a rent boom and the UK’s worsening cost-of-living crisis.
Like many, Jon finds himself between jobs and unable to keep up with rising rents, suddenly locked out of the housing market in the city where he was born. During this difficult chapter, as he fights to regain stability, his car becomes both refuge and reminder of how quickly security can unravel. Family estrangement and self-isolation deepen the struggle, painting a portrait of resilience in the face of systemic hardship.
This award-winning short documentary, recipient of Best Documentary Short Film at the Docuworld Film Festival, Best Documentary at the Stratford-upon-Avon Film Festival, and an official selection at the 2025 Brighton Rocks Film Festival, offers an intimate snapshot of one person’s experience of housing instability, echoing the reality faced by countless others across the UK today.
