Lost in the Wash begins with two strangers who meet in a laundromat. They do not know anything about the other, yet they are inexplicably drawn together. Their names are Lucy and Thomas, and they have one thing in common. Neither of them has anywhere else to go. This is the premise of a film within the film, directed by Blake Mitchell. Blake Mitchell is a young man whose life has been thrown into emotional chaos when his girlfriend leaves him. All he has are these two characters in the laundromat, so he uses them to try to work out his own emotional pain. The film at large becomes about the relationship between a director and his characters, an artist and his subjects. As Blake begins to lose his grip on the storyline and reality as he knows it, he finds his own characters have turned on him, leaving him in both a comical and metaphysical quandary. The film is 83 minutes long.
