**Broken** is the silent tale of the pain of the English working class. It is the story of the faith that moves the priest to get involved in the lives of his parishioners as he deals with the ghosts of his past, the cry of the mother who can not help her son in his madness, the itching of the police conscience at a moral crossroads, the despair of a mother who does not make ends meet and must provide for her three children. **Broken** is all the broken pieces of society without sweetening, without exaggerating. Actors of great level, an excellent script and perfectly produced.

You've reached the end.
