Storyline

Intermission is an urban love story about people adrift and their convoluted journeys in the search for some kind of love. When the desperately insecure and emotionally inarticulate John breaks up with Deirdre to 'give her a little test' his plan backfires leaving her broken-hearted and him alone and miserable. Through chance and coincidence, their break-up triggers a roller coaster ride of interweaving escapades in the lives of everyone around them. Intermission presents a slice of life, the passage between breaking up and making up, exploring how our lives intersect, and the power we all possess to affect the lives of those around us. Written by Mark Cameron

Crazy Credits

There is an extra scene during the credits showing Noeleen and Sam, who have
presumably gotten back together. Noeleen is pestering Sam about changing the
TV channel, and her nagging manner may give a hint why Sam left her in the
first place. See more »
