Broken Places

How deep are the bonds that tie?  How tenuous are our emotional attachments and our motivations that drive our feelings of joy and grief?  “Broken Places” seeks to spark a conversation, not knowing where the answers may lead for each, of whether loss is truly loss, permanence is truly permanent and whether the cords that are embedded in the fabric of our lives are, in fact, illimitable.

The concept and delivery style of the film is a fresh take on the silent film format.  The aim was to provide a pared backdrop to a profound theme. The use of subtitles is similarly important so that the written word on screen can find a unique voice in each viewer’s mind.

The characters are not only trying to cope with a recent major life event but also with their own ongoing personal struggles. Powerfully acted with two young actors that fill the screen with exceptional presence, and accompanied by a soaring original score, we witness the conflict with which the boys are faced, and the passage of emotions they must endure.
