Broken: A Lockdown Story

2021 0h 4m EN

Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A man plunges from the sky, a militia chase down two siblings, a woman weeps in a derelict house: vignettes from a surreal family breakdown, visions from an unreliable narration who speaks only in idioms.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
