The Bridge Game

Every week for the past year, four women have been meeting on a bridge where a friend committed suicide. In her honor, these intriguing women ritualistically take turns venting their troubles before going off to an afternoon of playing cards.

One rainy Tuesday, tensions rise and emotions flare as it's discovered one of the women has unexpectedly climbed over the railing and attempted suicide while the other watch. Conversations turn from "trash" to intense and volatile emotions illustrate how real issues can be buried under layersm that often mask friendship. As more secrets, abuses and addictions are revealed, each must face personal fears and confront disappointments in their lives.

The Bridge Game challenges the way people "play the game" and keep things light by "playing it cool." The metaphor comes into play as the women ultimately built a bridge toward greater honesty and intimacy.
