Breaking The Waves

The sea lashes wildly against the rugged coast of Scotland, where Bess, whose life is deeply connected to the church community of the remote village, marries the love of her life, Jan. Jan works on an oil rig in the Atlantic and is therefore absent for long periods of time. Bess prays for his speedy return - with fatal consequences ... Nature, violence, love and faith are just a few of the basic ingredients of this passion story, which is intense in every respect and is a rollercoaster ride of emotions right to the end.
