Orphans and Angels
Love, drugs and murder are the backdrop for the film noirish "Orphans and Angels", a dark and passionate tale by first-time director/writer/editor Harold Brodie. The story begins with the return of John after a five-year mysterious absence. A chance meeting in a bar and Theresa is immediately taken by John's charm. A rape victim from childhood, she is shy and somewhat an innocent who is ever hopeful that she will fall in love. Theresa offers John a ride to a youth hostel, meets him for drinks, and soon takes him home. Together in her apartment, they take Ecstasy, the first time for Theresa. Through a maze of drugs, wine and warmth, she shares her troubled past, her hopes and her dreams with John, all the while slipping more and more under his control. Slowly John's haunted past begins to filter into their dream world and Theresa's life is changed forever...
