Description

“Something Must Break tells the story of a young trans woman named Ellie (Saga Becker) who falls in love with a cis man named Andreas (Iggy Malmborg). Writer-director Ester Martin Bergsmark created a potent film about transgender sexuality, and how it rubs up against the virulent transmisogyny of society. For the first time, I saw the subtle nuances of my own life and desires explicitly reflected on film.” - Cathy Brennan Mubi, Notebook
