In a world where everyone’s heart is an object and there’s a strong societal pressure to dampen emotion, lonely Virtual Insurance broker Anabel (Anna Maguire, Violation, The Hummingbird Project) always follows her heart.
At odds with this overly pragmatic society, and after a series of devastating emotional blows, she rips her heart from her chest and gives it to a man she’s fallen for, the strangely unfeeling George (Hamza Haq, NBC’s Transplant). Unburdened by her unique yet cumbersome heart, Anabel finds life easier. George, on the other hand, begins to feel everything, to the shock of his overbearing mother, Mona.
Anabel soon realizes she needs to get her heart back if she’s going to survive. Official selection: 2023 SXSW Film Festival, 2023 Fantasia International Film Festival, 2023 Cucalorus Film Festival, Et al.
