Noughts & Crosses

Noughts and Crosses is a film about Bruce. Bruce has OCD.

He’s just been dumped by his girlfriend and is talking about it in a counselling session. He obsessively draws crosses as a way of trying to cancel his thoughts about her, to keep her out of his mind.

During the session he reflects on his relationship gone by and is reminded of the love/pain of it all. 

Just when he leaves the counselling session, little does he know, something is waiting for him.
