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.

Hi, Sara.

Hi, Angus.

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.

Why, what is it?

Just want to know who you

hang out with, that's all.

They're my friends, dad.

Please don't see him anymore.

Don't worry, dad.

We got the results from

mark and Thomas's computers.

Okay, let's go.

-Hi.

-You're late.

That's my bike.

I passed my cbt.

What's that?

It means you can

go on the moped.

Okay.

Just like that.

Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom!

Is Angus coming today?

No, not today.

Sorry about Thomas.

Was Thomas your best friend?

Did you know everyone

who killed themselves?

Most of them.

Why do you think

they did it?

You don't talk about it.

And you stick together.

And no one leaves town.

We keep ourselves

to ourselves around here.

What about your parents?

Do you speak to yours?

My mom's dead and my dad--

i don't know.

You see.

Danny!

Danny!

Danny, come back!

Danny, you're

f***ing drunk, man!

F*** you!

Danny that was f***ing--

that was well done.

Thomas!

You're turn, Jamie?

I'm not doing it.

Jamie, come on,

f***ing Danny's done it.

You're a f***ing p*ssy.

Come on.

Whoa!

Is that Laurel?

Wait, don't look, don't look.

-Sara, don't.

-Is that Laurel?

Is that Laurel?

-Listen--

F*** you, man.

Jamie needed a f***ing fight.

Any f***ing beer left?

She made her f***ing drink.

Come on into the world.

Hey, Sara,

how about me, Sara?

Sara!

Where are you going?

I'm going home with her.

You stay here.

She can't go home on her own.

Then she should stay.

I'll see you later.

Don't get lost, all right?

Where have you been?

Sorry.

Where have you been?

I don't know,

what about you?

We had an agreement.

You had an agreement.

What's happening to you?

To me?

What about you and

that woman you're f***ing?

It didn't take

you long to find her.

You can't--you

can't just disappear!

If you want to stay here,

you do as I say.

Grab the beer,

get out of here!

Vengeance for Laurel!

Let's f***ing

get on with it!

Move!

Guys, I just have a word.

I just, I just

wanted to say that

if ever any of you

need to talk about anything,

absolutely anything.

And please, just feel

free to come to me, okay?

Jamie, what the f***'s

your dad on about?

My door's always open for you.

Yeah, your back door.

No, seriously guys,

'cause I know sometimes

things can be black

and it's hard

to talk to your

friends or your parents,

but god will listen to you.

F*** off, you f***ing wanker.

Hallelujah!

Hungry, love?

It's my f***ing house.

You pay for what

you eat, right?

Don't f***ing forget it.

Come on, dad,

What is this?

They're better now.

They're together.

Here's the password.

You're a part of us now.

Do you want to lie down?

What?

Danny, come on.

Come on,

come lie down with me.

Sorry.

You should go now.

Nothing happened.

go to the lake together?

You go.

But...
