The Broken Circle Breakdown

[Machine Translation] They love each other and sing. A Belgian version of "ONCE ON THE STREETS OF DUBLIN", a story of two people who live fiercely - full of soulful music and intense love. A musician with a cowboy crush and a tattoo designer - two offbeat people with different interests and personalities - meet, fall in love, become a family and share the joys of life, but a single sadness changes everything. But a single sadness changes everything... The conflicting values and ideas that lie between them, and their unchanging bond. This is a love story of their intense way of life set to overwhelming music. A "true music film" in which bluegrass music expresses all the emotions that well up in the viewer. The film was a big hit in Belgium and received rave reviews at the Berlin International Film Festival and other film festivals around the world. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. --Two people with different personalities and tastes. Elise, a tattoo designer, has tattoos all over her body telling her own history. Didier is an anarchist with a penchant for cowboys. He plays banjo in a bluegrass band and caravans around Belgium. Suddenly they fall in love. Soon Elise's natural singing voice blossoms and she begins to sing in Didier's band. Music spun their love and strengthened their bond. A marriage proposal, marriage, and the birth of their child. It was a perfect happiness for the unconventional couple. But when their beloved daughter fell seriously ill, everything changed and their love was put to the test...
