Professionally made for sure but the ending was underwhelming. I think we might have needed to know a little bit more about the man who drove his car into the sea, for his story to have any relevance. |

synopsis
A couple on a beach are accosted by a man they've never met, with unexpected consequences.
short fact
The aim was to look at that process in an amusing situation. The irony of production was that in making a film about a car being stuck on a beach, we got quite alot of vehicles stuck in the sand ourselves. The final tally was two cars, a van, an ambulance and three tractors stuck, and in the end we were masters of the art seen in the film. The car seen in the film still went after its ordeal, and I drove it for a further 6 months. Even the radio still worked, trust the Japanese! Unfortunately, someone drove into the back of it on the way to the shoot and so it failed its MOT from that damage, not from what we'd done to it, and had to be scrapped.
