Karen Moone (Denise Coates) is a needy woman with an unfaithful boyfriend that is completely miserable after the suicide of her mother. Her only friend is the punk singer and baker Marnie Lowell (Jessica Ballard). Kyle Elliot (Nathan Webb) is a man bored with his perfect middle-class life with the shallow and beautiful wife Sarah (Marti Phillips) that works composing jingles for advertisements. While waiting for a bus in a rainy night, Karen and Kyle are violently assaulted by a thief and Karen has amnesia. Kyle pretends that he lost his memories too and both stay in a church, where they fall in love for each other. When Kyle is located by his wife and Karen recalls her previous life, they both miss the time they spend together.
"Our Burden Is Light" is a boring melodrama that apparently inspires people to write in IMDb. Of course I am being ironic, but what else could I write about a movie that I bought for US$ 4.00 without any previous reference with the misleading Brazilian title of "Tormented Souls" which has forty-two (42) reviews of people with only one comment in IMDb? Further, most of them promoting a badly acted and flawed story that seems to have been inspired in a Mexican soap-opera, where people seriously injured (with incredible double amnesia) do not go to a hospital but to a church. My vote is three.
Title (Brazil): "Almas Atormentadas" ("Tormented Souls")
