Synopsis
In London, the radiologist Gina McVey organizes a surprise birthday party to her father John McVey with her boyfriend Stefan Chambers, her brother Daniel McVey and his girlfriend Kate Coleman. On the next day, she sees herself driving a car on the street and she follows the woman to her apartment, where she finds a picture of her father and her. While driving back, she has a car crash and loses parts of her memory; further, she believes Stefan is another man. Gina decides to investigate what is happening and unravels a dark reality.

Trivia & Facts
× Filming Locations:
• Bayswater, London, England, UK
Greenford Studios, Greenford, Middlesex, England, UK (studio)
London, England, UK
• The inventive spelling of the title reads somewhat silly in Norwegian and Danish since the Ø in broken is a letter in the alphabet in these languages and sounds like the "u" in "burden". In addition "brøken" is a Norwegian word meaning "the fraction".
• If the music played during the first half of the closing credits sounds a bit off, that's because it's being played backwards.
• In the beginning of the movie, when she is examining X-rays, she shows her assistant a case of Situs Inversus. This refers to people who are born with one or more organs reversed in position. She states that the condition is very rare, occurring only once in every 1000 births. In truth, Situs Inversus occurs once in every 10,000 births.
• As Gina walks past the wrecked cars in the wrecking yard, she passes the same car (J667 YWY) twice, only a few seconds apart, without changing direction.

Lena Headey Quotes
• "And then I just did a horror thriller in London, a low budget kind of very visual, very psychological movie. It's pretty twisted. It's kind of about losing your mind and reality, and the boundaries of reality and madness."
• About if her character is crazy
"It's kind of... it's like which side do you believe? Are you crazy or who knows who's not crazy?"
Character Quotes
• Kate Coleman: I guess that's seven years back luck then.
Gina McVey: I thought it was seven years bad sex.
Kate Coleman: No, I've already had that.
Daniel McVey: Oi, I heard that.
Kate Coleman: Baby, that was before I met you!
• Gina McVey: Who are these for?
Jim: Dr. Waters.
Gina McVey: Interesting.
Jim: What?
Gina McVey: Well, do you notice anything?
Jim: They're back to front?
Gina McVey: No, look. Left and right tags.
Jim: The heart's on the right side of the body?
Gina McVey: Dextrocardia with situs inversus. It's not uncommon, but it's pretty rare. One in every thousand.
• Gina McVey: I don't think Stephan is my boyfriend.
Dr. Robert Zachman: Well, we all have different relationships until we find the one.
Gina McVey: No, he looks like him, but he's not him.
Dr. Robert Zachman: Right. When did you first notice this change? After the accident? Do you think then, that maybe he really is Stephan and that you're just still confused about the events surrounding the crash?
Gina McVey: Dr. Zachman...
Dr. Robert Zachman: Robert, please.
Gina McVey: Robert. The man in the apartment is not my boyfriend.
