Bridgend Page #2

Synopsis: "Bridgend" follows Sara and her dad, Dave as they arrive to a small village in Bridgend County. The village is haunted by suicides amongst its young inhabitants, and Sara falls dangerously in love with one of the teenagers, Jamie while Dave as the town's new policeman tries to stop the mysterious chain of suicides. The film is an uncompromising story focused on the relationship between vulnerable teenagers and their parents who are left in the dark. The story of the film is based on a mysterious suicide cluster that took place in Bridgend County, a small former coal-mining province in Wales. Between December 2007 and January 2012 seventy-nine suicides were officially committed in the area. Most of the victims were teenagers, they hanged themselves and left no suicide notes. Danish documentary filmmaker Jeppe Rønde followed the teenagers from the area for six years and wrote the script based on their life stories. Bridgend is Rønde's fiction film debut.

Can't you work at home?

Not today.

Very f***ing clever.

F***ing kids.

I hanged it for you, dad.

Come here, boy, you

still have things to do.

This one's fine.

Come with me.

Angus, why did

you hit your mum?

Don't go to heaven

when you kill yourself.

Yes you do that's

just something they say.

No, it's true.

What's happening, Jamie?

Do you want to

come out with us?

Sara, come on let's go,

we're going, going home.

My condolences, Maya,

i need Thomas's computer.

If you'd done your

job properly, Dave,

none of this

would have happened.

Well last time I checked,

it wasn't my son.

Why do you think

you found him?

Dad.

I need his computer.

Get it yourself.

What's your name?

-Danny.

-Excuse me, Danny.

I'm going for a walk.

I need air.

Hiya.

Hi, Laurel.

I've never been

on a horse before.

Do you want to have a go now?

God, she's big up close,

isn't she?

He is.

Oh.

And, there you go, yeah.

And your little fingers

go underneath there.

Okay, I'm gonna let you go.

Pull the reins.

Pull the reins

to slow him down.

Don't be scared,

you're all right.

You're fine, come on,

he knows what he's doing.

Here.

Well done.

It was really good.

Can I have my hat back?

Thanks.

See ya.

Where you going?

To the lake.

Coming?

I'm going to take

him for a ride.

See you at the lake.

Should I say hi to Sara?

How about a kiss,

it's not a good time.

I like your scarf.

Where are you going?

Riding.

Hi.

You want Jamie?

He's out in the back

working on his moped.

Come on, puppy.

Hey.

All right?

Hi, Sara.

Hi, Angus.

Want to see something?

Yeah.

All right.

Angus, good ride.

Come on!

Back off, you, back off.

Faster, faster.

I wonder what

it would be like

to live in Bristol

all by yourself.

Go, Angus!

No clue.

F*** off, f*** off!

Come on, eh?

Well, I lived in Bristol

before I came here.

Was it any better?

No, not really.

You see.

Can you sing to me?

-I don't like singing.

-Come on, Jamie, sing!

-I'm not gonna sing.

-Sing, sing!

I'm not gonna sing,

stop being a twat about it.

Sorry, I hate singing.

He had a good time.

So did I.

I haven't got any plans tomorrow

if you want to do something.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Hey, so who's

this Jamie guy?

He's all right.

Yeah?

Why?

I just need to know.
