This movie is the sequel to Once Were Warriors. Just to recap - OWW is a story about an enslaved,(modern) Maori family to the white man's drink and the gut wrenching abuse that comes along with it. As the movie starts out, husband/father - Jake Heke appears to be this gorgeous creature until he's wearing his wife on his fist a half an hour into the movie. What Becomes of the Broken Hearted? shows an update after a series of bloody events. Only this time the sequence of bloody events (caused by Jake Heke again) is for a good cause. He's not beating up family members, he's beating up others FOR his family members and he redeems himself by doing so. Great story for a dysfunctional family. Hey, good news you're not the only ones! Recommended for the curious who want to find out what happens to this broken hearted family after they leave husband/father Jake Heke in OWW.
