Synopsis

Following a small group of passengers on a day excursion upon the River Clyde in Scotland, aboard the famous Waverley, the last sea-going Paddle Steamer in the World. Sitting together on the deck, enjoying some drinks under the Scottish sun, they pass the time sharing a few stories, which of course they maintain all to be true, and just so happens to involve people they know, or friends of people they know. The passengers share four tales together, which make up the four segments of the film; 'Truth Machine', 'Chatroom Desire', 'Spark of Innocence' and 'Adam's Journey'. The first three tales seem grounded in what could appear to be very possible circumstances, but the final tale seems perhaps a bit far-fetched, surrounded and steeped in supernatural drama.

Then Mr. Oswald, the ugly man who lives opposite, beats up Rick, the sweet, but unstable boy next door and Skunk’s innocence begins to be drained away at a speed and in a way she cannot control. Her home, her neighbourhood, her school - all become treacherous environments where the happy certainties of childhood give way to a fear-filled doubt, and a complex, broken world fills her future. Skunk seeks solace in the last remaining place where she knows she can find it - the unspoken friendship with sweet, damaged Rick - and falls into a chaos where suddenly, joyfully, she has choice thrust back into her hands. The choice to remain in this place she was never promised, or to leave it entirely - to live or to die. Broken is a powerful, captivating and heartbreaking exploration of love in all its many forms: idealized, unrequited, unwanted, and - ultimately - unconditional.
