Bridgend Page #3

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. It is entirely shot on location i

no dominion.

Dead man naked,

they shall be one

with the man in the wind

and the west moon,

when the bones

are picked clean,

and the clean bones gone,

they shall have stars

at elbow and foot.

Though they go mad,

they shall be sane.

Though they sink

through the sea,

they shall raise again.

Though lovers be lost,

love shall not.

And death shall have

no dominion."

Jamie!

Jamie, stop,

don't do it!

Jamie!

I'm sorry...

...i couldn't.

It's okay.

Come on.

Take your shoes off.

Hey, okay.

Hey.

I just couldn't

take it anymore.

I know I shouldn't

have done it.

All I had to do

is let go.

So I did.

I just started walking.

Walking.

There was water

everywhere...

...all over.

Someone waved.

I heard voices calling...

...calling my name.

That was me calling

your name just now.

Yeah.

Let's get out

of here.

No.

I can't, they're

my friends.

Of course you can.

All right.

Let's check out this

f***ing Bristol place, huh?

-All right.

-It's Angus.

I'll meet you

at your house!

We heard you're

leaving town.

F***ing regret that.

Where's your

little b*tch?

She's already left.

Thomas and all the others

were in the lake,

in the quarry swimming.

They all looked

so happy.

They wave at me

and call me out.

I don't believe in dreams,

you were on the Internet,

-weren't you?

-No.

Don't lie to me.

You took our computer,

remember?

But you were in the chat room

with Danny and the others.

I don't know, they don't

tell me anything.

You plan it together,

you do it in public,

you want the world to see

how brave you are.

I wanted to know

how Thomas was feeling.

I want to change my face

because I see him

in the mirror

all the time.

Thomas believed

that you'd be together

after you hang yourself,

don't you think

that's stupid?

-He's totally stupid.

-Why's that?

He thought Sara

should be home.

Or did you already teach her

that, daddy-o, huh, daddy-o?

It's so easy to talk with you,

but I bet it means nothing!

I hate you!

Hate you with all

the others!

You f***ing c*nt!

We f***ing hate you!

Jamie!

Jamie!

Jamie.

Jamie.

Oh, no.

Jamie.

Jamie.

F*** off.

Get out of here.

F*** off.

You need to get

out of here.

Open the door!

Open the door!

What have you

been up to now?

You need some water.

F--f*** off.

Sara, leave.

Get the f***

out of here.

Okay.

F*** off.

Don't you get it?

I don't want you.

I've never wanted you.

-That's not...

-Sara, go home.

No, no.

He doesn't know

what he's saying, no.

I don't f***ing want you!

I already told you,

you f***ing priss.

You're f***ing

nothing to me.

I don't f***ing want you.

I don't want to come with you

to f***ing Bristol.

I never did.

Okay, that's enough.

Okay, up, up.

Jamie.

-Sara.

-Jamie!

-Get up.

-Jamie!

No, no!

Jamie!

Jamie!

Jamie!

Jamie!

-Jamie!

-Go home.

Go home.

Go home, please, in the name

of god, go home.

I love him.

And you don't even know

what that means.

Come on.

Please, please.

Take it.

Come to bed.

I have to go to work.

Can I stay the night?

Sara!

Sara!

Sara!

F***ing ambulance!

Get a f***ing ambulance!

Are you awake?

Oh, sweetheart.

Everything's

gonna be okay.

We'll go to Bristol

and we'll start again.

We're gonna make it.

We'll be okay.

"Our father,

who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day

our daily bread."

I did my best, Sara.

All I know,

and it didn't help,

i couldn't stop it.

My hands are empty.

"Who trespass against us.

Lead us not

into temptation...

...but deliver us

from evil."

If you hear me, god,

if the lord's face shines

upon you, then...

Ask him to forgive us.

Ask him for meaning.

Ask him, "why?"

Please.

Please, help me.

Help us all.

Let's get out of here.
