“WELCOME STOP” is a 25-minute narrative film that explores issues of relationship and boundaries among three disabled characters. It follows Morag along the first steps of her path to self-discovery, as she dumps her oppressive boyfriend at a motorway service station and hitches a ride with Gerry, a recovering sex-and-love addict. An unconventional road movie, “WELCOME STOP” radiates a sense of freedom and adventure. Attempting bold transformations in their lives, the characters don’t always succeed gracefully, but at least they try. The journey towards self-discovery and the struggle to self-actualize are themes that, in “WELCOME STOP”, cross boundaries of race, disability and sexual orientation.
