Brakes is a dark, improv-based ensemble comedy set in London. Divided into two parts, it tells the story of each couple's relationship in reverse, starting with the break-ups.

One summer, mother and ex dancer Eileen lapses back to a troubled past as she starts a new relationship... we watch as she and her family combust. The film, shot on a micro budget, treads between darkness and humour as it moves from its beginning in the suburban cricket club to its conclusion at a music festival.
