The Broken Circle Breakdown

DramaRomance112 min

Didier and Elise fall for each other almost at once, even though they meet the world from opposite directions. Johan Heldenbergh is Didier, a talkative romantic atheist and working musician; beside him, Veerle Baetens’s Elise listens more than she speaks and holds tighter to faith. Marriage and music bind them together, but when their young daughter becomes seriously ill, the strain reaches into their home, their beliefs, and the way they face each other.
