Ready or not... the future comes just the same.
Eighteen-year-old Meg (Agnes Bruckner) has been set adrift ever since her father left their family, driving away in a blue car. Now, in her final year of high school, Meg has finally found a life-line: her poetry teacher, Mr Auster (David Strathairn), a man who exposes her raw talent, drives her to succeed, introduces her to the wonders of her imagination and seems to genuinely care about her in a way that no one else in her life does.
At home, Meg must balance her defiant anger at her over-worked, inattentive mother (Margaret Colin) with her valiant struggle to help her troubled younger sister (Regan Arnold). But at school, with Mr Auster, she enters a whole other world where her deepest feelings come to the surface, where she is safe to tell the truth, where she has a future - which seems even more exciting when she wins a school poetry contest and the opportunity to compete in the national finals across the country in Florida.

Theatrical report
Blue car is about a teenager finding her feet the hard way. It's also, incidentally, about statutory rape, pædophilia, teacher/pupil relationships, teenage poetry, alcoholic parents and school trips. It's like a soft-core version of Thirteen.
