The Broken Circle Breakdown
feature film 2012
elevator pitch
Elise is 28 and owns her own tattoo parlour. 36-year-old Didier is a Flemish cowboy who plays the banjo in a bluegrass band. Although in many respects they are as alike as night and day, somehow their characters are a perfect match and the arrival of their baby, Maybelle, makes their happiness complete. Life is good until, one day, fate intervenes… The multi-award-winning film was also Belgium’s 2014 Foreign Oscar contender.
