Hjärtat

A young photographer moves to Stockholm and falls in love with a musician in Fanni Metelius' personal debut film about gender, love and sexuality. What happens when the heart wants one thing, the gut another and the mouth suddenly speaks as a third party? The focus of the film is Fanni Metelius (who directed, played the lead, wrote and edited the film) and around her hovers the comic Ahmed Berhan, who plays a sad slacker musician while a delightful Suzanne Reuter has the role of the skeptical mother. The Heart is a feminist relationship drama that addresses the power games of love and the structures of desire with a voice all its own. (Jonas Holmberg)
