‘Broken Eternity’ is a love story set in modern day London yet begins one hundred years ago in India. Much of the action unfolds without words; the only real dialog is a sequence that takes place ten years ago between the main characters, SARALA and her father CHANDRAN. It is a conversation between little SARALA and CHANDRAN that becomes the vehicle for our understanding of theme of reincarnation and how it relates to SARALA’s dream. It helps thread three strands together: childhood, present day and dream/past, layering images and moments to create an impressionistic film. It also acts, at times, as a voice-over, showing us that SARALA believes she is the woman in the dream, the woman in the past.
