The Broken Circle Breakdown

Didier first encounters Elise at her tattoo parlour, where he invites her to watch his band perform. This chance meeting marks the beginning of their relationship as they quickly connect over their mutual passion for bluegrass music.

After attending Didier's performance, Elise is impressed by his talent and charm. The chemistry between them deepens as Didier discovers Elise's remarkable singing voice, leading to her joining his band and solidifying their bond.

Months into their relationship, Elise finds out she is unexpectedly pregnant, a revelation that brings both shock and excitement. Didier and Elise embrace the news, seeing it as an opportunity for a new chapter in their lives.

Elise gives birth to their daughter, Maybelle, bringing joy to their lives. They immerse themselves in family life, celebrating the new addition with love and laughter.

Didier, Elise, and Maybelle enjoy several years of bliss, filled with music and success. Their family bonds grow stronger as they create beautiful memories together.

Tragedy strikes after Maybelle's sixth birthday when she is diagnosed with cancer. The family faces an unimaginable challenge as her health declines rapidly over the next year.

After a year of fighting, Maybelle loses her battle with cancer, leaving Didier and Elise shattered. The traumatic loss provokes deep emotional turmoil, fracturing their bond and pushing them apart.

Following Maybelle's death, Didier becomes engulfed in scientific rationalism, fueled by his anger towards societal views on embryonic stem cell research. Conversely, Elise turns to spiritual beliefs and concepts of reincarnation as her coping mechanism.
