Transcript:
Image 1: Once upon a time there was a world full of broken people. What broke them, you ask? Emotional hurt from life's big or small events.

Image 2: Look at this boy whose forehead is breaking as his broken-lip teacher is telling him how stupid he is. He will now think he’s not smart.

Image3: Or this one girl whose friends no longer want to play with her as they think she dresses poorly. Her chin is breaking, she’s bowing down in inferiority.

Image 4: Like Ken, whose father left him as a kid breaking his chest. He lost a major source of support.

Image 5: Ken’s mother's rage and abuse is breaking the inside and outside of his forearms.
He will find it difficult to give and receive love with those hands

Image 6: As Ken grows up, he learns that broken people use each other express their hurt. An abuser was once a victim. And that's why the whole world was full of broken people affecting your long-term behavior. When your heart is broken, you can't love easily again. When your hand is hurt, you can't give someone a helping hand.

Image 7: He also saw that less broken people were happier than more broken people. He was convinced that avoiding breakages was the only way to ace life, and he would never let anyone break his daughter.

Image 8: The only problem was that his daughter Ree was exceptionally sensitive. On her first school day, when a boy starts to cry, she feels his hurt so much that she breaks her chest. She had already broken earlier than most people do.

Image 9: Ken is so worried that Ree isn't strong enough to survive on her own without getting broken that he homeschools her, acts like her bodyguard on playgrounds and doesn't let her watch any world news. He interrupts any event that can break her.

Image 10: Ree, interprets Ken's behaviour as an expectation for her to be perfect. She loves her father too much to disappoint him. Ree's mantras are: Be strong, broken is bad, perfect is happy. Ree is growing up to be unbroken, truly perfect while everyone around her is broken. Everyone who sees Ree enamored with her beauty and perfection.

Image 11: A local news reporter wants to interview Ree with other kids in the audience to learn from her. Ken is proud of this; he really did raise his daughter right.

Image 12: But when a kid asks Ree about his fear of public speaking, she outright tells him that his broken neck will never let him speak in public. This breaks the kid’s ear. Ken is shocked listening to Ree’s response.
Image 13: When a kid cries about losing his mother, Ree tells him that she never had a mom too and that his crying is making him break more. Somehow, Ree starts to experience pain and leaves the interview.

Image 14: The news reporter is shocked and tells Ree that she is so perfect that she can’t relate to anybody. Ree ignores her, Ken is sad to hear this but is worried about Ree’s pain.

Image 15: Ken assures Ree that she's fine because she's not broken. The next morning Ree gets hospitalized when she can't get up from her bed.

Image 16: The doctors tell Ken that Ree’s pain can’t be diagnosed as nothing’s amiss with her internally or externally. She’s not broken, she’s perfect because has developed an intensely thick skin in the name of being strong. She has a serious case of apathy for everybody except for the one person she loves the most, her father. They ask Ken to find a way to break Ree if he wants to save her life. Ken is conflicted. Did he spent his entire life protecting her only to break her now?

Image 17: Ken tells doctors, “I will not have a broken daughter!”

Image 18: Ree overhears her father's words. She looks at Ken's shook head and starts to cry, "Did I fail you? am I no longer perfect?" Before Ken has a chance to explain, she shatters into several pieces.

Image 19: Ree is now the most broken person in the world.

Image 20: While Ken is sad, the doctors help him see that Ree became strong by developing a thick skin, while her natural sensitive self wanted to connect to those students in pain. Her perfect image upbringing stopped her lest she disappoint her father.
Ken learns that escaping being broken, breaks us more. Being broken is beautiful because they are an opportunity to connect.

Image 21: Ken asks for Ree’s forgiveness, gives her permission to break knowing that he will be there in compassion for her and help her heal. He sees all breakages as places where love fell short, and he will fill it up bit by bit. She's after all the most perfect daughter for Ken no matter. Right in that moment, one of Ree’s scar turns into a stretch mark because she grows away from her perfection, towards her true self.

Image 22: Ken is helping Ree heal as we speak …
