What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?(1999)

Once they were warriors. Men of Honour. Now five years on one man's battle has only just begun.

What Becomes of the Broken Hearted? is a New Zealand drama that picks up five years after its predecessor. Jake has abandoned his family and spends his days in McClutchy's Bar, fighting and drinking. When his eldest son, Nig, dies in a gang clash, Jake is forced to confront the wreckage of his choices at the funeral. The reunion ignites tension with his second son, Sonny, and the two spiral into a destructive cycle that neither can escape. The film explores how violence and abandonment ripple through generations, trapping men in patterns they can't break. Raw and unflinching, it examines the cost of a life lived on the margins.
