Not broken is a short, symbolic animation about personal growth and resilience.

The film tells the story of a small flower trying to grow among trash and asphalt. It is repeatedly crushed, falls back, and seems to disappear, but keeps reappearing. Through rain, light, and ultimately outside help, the flower slowly recovers and continues to grow.

The animation uses minimal motion design, abstract imagery, and metaphors to depict feelings of failure, perseverance, and hope. The story is personally inspired, but deliberately kept universal so that it can be relatable to many people.
