Heal

Synopsis

A devastated man is surprised by a friend trying to help him, despite his protests. Her insistence on mundane practicalities might be just what he needs.

An intense, claustrophobic peek into a mind dealing with a broken heart.

Comments

Here are the comments from our panel of screenwriter professionals about this script.

HEAL is a poignant tale about a young man going through a bad break-up, something most people have experience – and bad memories! – of. The end of a first love can threaten to destroy us, but this poignant little story reminds us about the true power of friendship and how simply being involved and empathising – whether a suffering person likes it or not – can help save a life.
