Title:
Riddles and Broken Things
Description:
‘Riddles and Broken Things’ follows three postgraduate students at St. Andrews as they grapple with loss and the unknown after the COVID pandemic. It examines riddles as a potential framework for reality, friendship in times of suffering, and in/breaking as destructive and redemptive, a remaking of vision and reframing of hope.
