Punk Love

Set against the backdrop of Oregon and Washington’s rainy landscapes, “Punk Love” tells the tale of two desolate lovers yearning for a Hollywood-style happy ending to their story. Sarah, a 15-year-old adrift in a loveless household in a bleak, small town dominated by a paper mill, sees a chance for a new beginning when she encounters Spike. As they fall in love, the pair embarks on a series of petty crimes to sustain themselves and their drug addiction. Spike harbors his own aspirations, and after landing a spot in a band, he begins to believe that he and Sarah might finally escape their doomed lives. However, just as hope seems within reach, everything spirals out of control, leaving Spike and Sarah to rely solely on their unwavering love to survive against all odds. Directed and written by Nick Lyon, “Punk Love” is a contemporary fairy tale about two lost souls seeking purpose in a merciless world.
