Fragile

In a society in which conscious lies and double morals are easily justified with excuses and laughs, a needlessly complex society is created, that deviates from the core of tangible life. Freek has a difficult time maintaining himself in his normal day life. When he looses his grip, he breaks and marks his most beloved person, his son, for life.

Directed by Francisca Toetenel, Fragile leans on a strong ensemble — Matijs Jansen, Raaf Le Clercq, Annelies Appelhof — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2014.
