Synopsis

An outstanding, award-winning ensemble cast has their lives shattered in the gripping FRAGMENTS.

The outstanding ensemble cast comprises Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker (Vantage Point, The Last King of Scotland), Kate Beckinsale (Underworld, Pearl Harbor), Guy Pearce (Memento, Traitor), Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls, Sex and the City Movie), Dakota Fanning (Coraline, The Twilight Saga: New Moon), Jeanne Tripplehorn (The Firm, Big Love) and Josh Hutcherson (Bridge to Terabithia, Journey to the Center of the Earth).

From 21 Grams producer Robert Salerno and acclaimed director Rowan Woods (Little Fish) FRAGMENTS is based on the best selling novel Winged Creatures by Roy Freirich and premiered in the UK in Official Selection at the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2009.

A moment of random violence erupts in an ordinary Los Angeles diner. The survivors find that the meanings of their lives have changed. No matter how much their families and friends attempt to understand, these individuals must follow their own paths to recovery seeking to regain trust in a world that now seems unforgiving.

A story of tragedy and hope for our times, Fragments is a powerful ensemble drama that explores the notion that our lives are fleeting and easily fragmented.
