River of Grass

Near the Everglades, the “river of grass,” lives Cozy (named for her father’s favourite drummer), lonely, in a loveless marriage, ignoring her children. She fantasizes being a dancer, an acrobat, and a gymnast. One night at a bar she meets Lee. He’s jobless, homeless, and unbeknownst to Cozy, is in ownership of her father’s handgun. Dad’s a cop and lost the gun chasing a robber. Cozy and Lee climb a fence to swim in a pool. Playing around with the gun, they think they kill the pool’s proprietor, so that they move on the lam. An extraordinary partnership develops even though they’re quick on ideas. But how can they escape their barren lot if they don’t actually have a quarter for the road toll? tt0110998
