Beating Hearts

The 1980s. Jackie and Clotaire grow up between the high school benches and the docks of the port. She studies, he hangs around. Their destinies cross, and it’s crazy love. Life will try to separate them, but nothing can keep these two apart; they are like the two ventricles of the same heart… After Le Grand Bain (2018), Gilles Lellouche returns to directing with his most ambitious project yet (with a budget nearing 36 million euros, the second most expensive French film of 2024 after Le Comte de Monte-Cristo). A grand romantic drama crafted by a passionate cinephile. A "juke-box" film with hyper-realistic framing, rich visual effects, and an ambition that transcends all boundaries.
