I start my car again and again, pumping the pedal hard. The engine tries to start, struggles… but dies. The excessive pedal pumping s it, and each attempt feels more intense. Several shots from different angles: my legs working, the pedal going up and down, the key turning, the engine sputtering, that exact moment between starting… or dying. Real pedal pumping, insistent cranking, control, tension, and mechanical frustration in every attempt.
