Cartrouble is a story about a woman who goes for a drive with a man. They have fun, but then a life or death situation presents itself and their reactions expose how fundamentally different they are.
Cartrouble is an ordinary story about a man and a woman at conflicting and different stages of their lives. It addresses and reminds us of those pivotal moments in time/life, where we are forced to contend with reality and choose.
Confronted by life or death – initially facing the life or death of her own child, and then metaphorically with a rabbit hit by their car – the Woman is forced to reevaluate her position and direction in life. Victim of her own desires and hopes of an ideal; deluded by an unfulfilling relationship, she drifts along until almost unexpectedly she is forced to take action and finally accept responsibility.
