Fifteen-year-old Tom and his father have been out of sync ever since his mother’s passing. With grief driving them apart, Tom finds refuge in his music, composing melodies in the quiet solitude of his bedroom. At school, he faces bullying and isolation, with only his boyfriend Alex standing by his side. But when an unexpected moment forces his father to truly listen—for the first time in a long time—the distance between them begins to close. As they confront their pain, they must learn to tune back into each other, proving that even broken strings can be mended.

Snapped Strings was developed and produced by a group of learners from Willows High School. The production benefited from a Culture Step investment from Arts & Business Cymru.
