The Broken Circle Breakdown — Characters & Cast

To live a life of freedom and truth; later, to find a rational target for his overwhelming anger at his daughter's senseless death.

Starts as a free-spirited, America-loving musician who falls deeply in love. The tragedy hardens him into a bitter cynic who rages against religion and politics, ultimately losing his wife to the despair he cannot soothe.

To find connection and, after the tragedy, to find a way to be with her daughter again, whether through faith or death.

Begins as a grounded, 'realist' tattoo artist who is swept up in Didier's romance. Grief breaks her realism, driving her toward spiritualism for comfort. When that fails to heal her pain, she chooses to exit life entirely.
