Wanda

The story centers on Wanda, a rural housewife who embarks on a journey across an American landscape of decrepit factories, two-lane wastelands and ratty motels. Dragged into a relationship with small-time crook Michael Higgins, Wanda floats through life like a witness - a view of desperation filtered through a tinted windshield.
