La rockera
Davis
Kate (Hazel O'Connor) es una excéntrica cantante de música New Wave, su aspecto es bastante estrafalario y escribe letras de gran contenido social. En su cruzada antisistema, lo que más detesta es la industria discográfica. Sin embargo, cuando Danny (Phil Daniels) le ofrece ser su mánager, acaba aceptando. En su camino hacia el estrellato va perdiendo poco a poco sus principios. En una Inglaterra convulsionada por las huelgas, el paro y los enfrentamientos callejeros, Breaking Glass retrata la corrupta industria musical que convierte en mercancía de consumo y en moda pasajera incluso la más subversiva de las culturas juveniles. Mención especial a la banda sonora interpretada por Hazel O'Connor.
