Francis and Mary are best friends. Until they meet Nic, a preternaturally beautiful young man. Both succumb to the allure of Nic's curls and do everything they can to please him. He brings them to their knees and toys with their longing, he accepts their gifts and remains unmoved. Nothing wrong with spending the night as a threesome. Only nothing really happens. Will a trip to the country finally force a decision? 19 year old Xavier Dolan shot his internationally acclaimed debut I KILLED MY MOTHER. A year later he seduced audiences anew with this comic ode to being in love. "HEARTBEATS was the first Dolan movie I saw. After that I became a fan of his films. HEARTBEATS inspires me with its poetic and musical narrative style about a love triangle. A movie for all hopeless romantics." (Sooner curator Tamara Denić)
Directing prodigy Xavier Dolan presents with his comedy-drama a deliciously tongue-in cheek celebration of falling in love. Screened 2010 at Cannes.
