Ashes Page #5

Synopsis: Frank (Ray Winstone) is confined to a residential home, stricken with Alzheimer's - past, present ad future steadily disintegrating. Then one day, James (Jim Sturgess) appears, wanting to re-connect with a father who know longer knows him. James springs Frank from the home and the pair go on the run. As their haphazard journey unfolds - funny, violent and tragic by turns - the present merges with imperfect memories of the past and fact with fiction and we begin to realize that nothing is quite what it seems. ASHES itself defies neat categorization; part road movie, part psychological thriller; part contemporary film noir, but all beautifully shot and with a grimly satisfying twist.

No, stop messing about.

Let's get out of here.

We're done.

Oh, sh*t.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

Just can't find the motor.

- F*** off!

- I'm almost as bad as him.

F*** off!

Bye, Frank.

Keep walking.

We've got a problem.

Go through there. Dad go on.

Through there.

All right.

Come on, Dad.

Get down.

Get your head down. Down.

Down and keep your mouth shut.

All right.

Perfect.

I think they're gone.

Oh, sh*t!

Hello? No, I can't talk now.

It's not a good time.

I'm sorry, I've got...

All right.

Dad!

I've got a stain in the back.

Egg doesn't come out of black.

Beautiful.

Dad, Dad!

Dad, Dad!

Hi.

That was amazing!

Dad, well done.

That was one of the greatest

moments of my life.

F***!

Well done, Dad.

Well done.

F***ing brilliant!

When we're at the next junction,

we'll swap over.

No, seriously. I don't like

the idea of you driving.

Maybe you should take

some of your pills.

- Which ones do you take?

- I'm not ill.

Yeah, but I think they're good.

Stop you seeing things

that aren't real.

- They're real.

- I can't see them.

Maybe you need the drugs.

Yeah, I f***ing do

with you around.

No f***ing way!

You've gotta f***ing stop it.

What are you doing?

Concentrate on the road.

If you can't do it,

we'll swap over.

Got it.

I got it.

I just want music.

As long as you're concentrating.

Yeah.

All right.

- Concentrate, yeah?

- This is Roger Miller.

This is from the...

- Good old days.

- Yeah, the old time.

8 x 124 bit room. I'm a...

Go on, Dad.

Hello?

Yeah, we're on our way.

when we get there.

Just calm down.

We'll talk later.

You gonna let me drive now?

No.

Keep your eyes closed.
