Skunk Cunningham is an eleven year old girl living in North London with her older brother Jed (Milner), their father Archie (Roth) and au pair Katya. She witnesses a violent attack which brings chaos to Skunk’s life. Her home, her neighbourhood, her school all become treacherous environments where the certainties of childhood give way, and a complex, broken world fills her future.
Shot through with a vibrant energy and wit, Broken is an exploration of love in the many forms it arrives in: idealised, unrequited, unwanted, and ultimately, unconditional.
