Fragile Machines is an independent art film which tells the story of a married couple and the affairs that make their relationship irreparable. The film follows a non-linear, gestural narrative—shifting between seasons, homes, oceans and embraces fluidly and rapidly. The movement direction follows a form of contemporary dance: contact improvisation.
A young man confronts himself at 80.
Escaping from her father's stifling piety, young Ruth ventures into the woods where she befriends curmudgeon Milton. Salvation comes not in the form of the God Ruth's father worships but in the form of this embittered old man.
