Beating Hearts

Co-written with Audrey Diwan, Gilles Lellouche’s return to filmmaking after Sink or Swim, features an all-star French cast including Adèle Exarchopoulos, François Civil, Alain Chabat, Élodie Bouchez, Raphaël Quenard and Benoît Poelvoorde.

In a troublesome neighbourhood in the North of France, local rebellious teenager Clotaire falls for his schoolmate Jackie, charmed by her fearless spirit and sharp wit. As powerful first love blossoms between the two, rampant gang violence entices him into a much darker path and ultimately destroys all they have built. After many years apart, now leading profoundly different lives, the star-crossed lovers discover that every path they’ve taken leads them back together, but will love triumph over Clotaire’s quest for revenge?
