“The Bridge” synopsis
Sometimes, the pressures of everyday life can effect us all in different ways and we can feel alone and secluded. Elliot is such a person. The pressures of student life have taken their toll on him and he soon finds himself in a depressive state: his parents are pushing him to pursue a career in medicine while he no longer wants to continue, assignment deadlines are getting closer, debts are mounting, his friends are beginning to notice changes in him and always asking if he’s alright, which frustrates him.
