Indigo Hearts (2005)

In this provocative and gritty ensemble piece we explore the destroyed worlds of four lovers. The film starts in a tacky Vegas chapel with Steven, Bill, Kerry and Katie thinking about their failed relationships. They each reflect on their recent past and how each came to be married in the chapel. Their four marriages came about during fragile moments of desperation and need. As we reflect back on the four gut wrenching stories of love, violence, laughter and heartache we are eventually brought to the present day and the reality that each well painted story is still unresolved. Steven is the "wannabe" rocker. Bill is the fragile X marine. Kerry is the struggling mother with a handicapped son. Katie is the hippie drifter nomading around the country. The final resolution will leave them facing the cold fact that love can be harsh and life marches forward irrespective of their broken lives. These four enticing stories leave us moved by the stark emotions of their Indigo Hearts.
