Crashburn

When Ben and Rosie’s ten-year marriage hits the wall, the resulting debris also hits their friends. The story of their trial seperation is told in two distinct halves—his and hers. One follows Ben and his mates as they cling together in the bewildering world of male singledom. The other half tracks Rosie and her friends as her initial whiff of freedom gives way to panic, denial and increasingly bizarre behaviour. While each side is as convincing as the other, it is only by watching both halves the audience gets the real story.
Crashburn taps into the dilemma of modern relationships: it’s not only about falling in love—that’s the easy part—it’s about staying in love. How do you keep the thing alive and interesting when passion has given way to slippers, tracksuits and reality TV and the pledge of ‘forever’ seems highly ambitious?
