Overview
Broken is a captivating exploration of love in all its many forms: idealized, unrequited, unwanted, and unconditional. Directed by acclaimed British theatre director Rufus Norris, it features Tim Roth (Pulp Fiction, Lie to Me) and Cillian Murphy (Inception, The Dark Knight).
Skunk (Eloise Laurence) is wise beyond her 11 years. Her summer holidays have just begun, promising lazy days and easy hopes. Her lawyer father (Tim Roth) adores her but is perpetually busy. Her brother is a pesky older teen and their au pair Kasia is a delightful accomplice to her world, especially as she has a cute boyfriend (Cillian Murphy) who turns out to also be Skunk's teacher. But her innocence is fast disintegrating. Home and school become treacherous environments where the happy certainties of childhood give way to a complex, seemingly broken world. A bittersweet and beautiful coming-of-age story.
