This is a film that makes you melt away! A film after a true event. It all starts with the phone ringing in a London indie studio. The receptionist who picks up the phone does it for the first time, because it's her first day at work. On the phone, a casting agency. They demand Hazel O'Connor. The receptionist is visibly surprised! She IS Hazel O'Connor! That's exactly what she tells the callers, but they say: "Oh no, this one's a singer." At the same time O'Connor was reading a book called "Bring Out the Magic in Your Mind". It's about thinking positively. To live one's dreams simply by focusing very strongly on them. O'Connor wanted to make it as a singer and songwriter, but she had only composed four songs. It was her brother who showed her how to write songs and with him she hung around in London most of the time. It was the late 70s and O'Connor's brother played as a pre-program for the Buzzcocks. London had so much to offer; The Specials, The Clash and the Rich Kids with singer Midge Ure! O'Connor wanted to be part of it and wrote more songs. Albion Records believed in her, but offered her only a pound as a reward. A pound! To pay the rent, she worked as a receptionist. Albion Records were new to the business and had produced a single artist until then: Ian Gomm, who in turn had a recording studio where the Stranglers were also customers. Do you realize how much fun Breaking Glass is?(...)
