Werewolf plot

Blaise and Nessa are rejected methadone users in a small town that offers no easy way out. Every day starts with a long trip to the small pharmacy and then it's door to door begging to mow grass for people who only wish they didn't exist. At sunset, they push their rusty lawnmower up a steep hill and collide with a filthy camper van on the edge of town. Vanessa wants to escape it all, while Blaise risks relapse, arrest, hospitalization, or worse. They are chained to each other and experience this as a suffocating feeling from which they would like to be released.

Better than expected. We follow two young people who are in a heroin rehabilitation program. Every day they wait in line for their methadone. An effective remedy for heroin, but just as addictive. To survive, they take an old lawn mower with them to randomly cut people's grass.

The best scene of the film is somewhere early on when they inquire about social housing. The monologue that Blaise delivers comes from deep and is one of despair and desperation. I am a care provider myself and I know that fact.

The camera is indeed sometimes short-lived and its function is not always clear. Furthermore, quite solid acting from Blaise and Vanessa, with the latter still trying to make something of her young life through trial and error.
