A trip through the heart. A poetic, moving, cruel, ironic, at times a cynical trip. A trip that takes us deep into the heart of the film maker, into her aches, her joys, her medical problems, among them the placing of a pacemaker. It gives her an excuse to take a closer look at other hearts: the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the small mummified heart of Louis XVII and its weird wanderings, the heart of a transplantee. How does one live with someone else’s heart ? Hearts of sugar, hearts of gold in the Brussel’s Heart Museum. Chicken, beef, and quail hearts at the butcher’s. And the parallel between the heart of a surgeon who grafts hearts and that of a gardener who grafts treees. The trips ends in the Ice Palace with a poem inviting us to donate our hearts. A film essay that avoids scientific gravity.
