In The Heart

Running time: 104 mins

The power and fragility of love. Masha, a biologist with an attitude, isn't looking for love. But it finds her anyway, in the form of Luuk, a caring doctor. Drawn to her fiery tongue and vivacious nature, Luuk sheds his shyness to approach her. They catapult into a shattering romance, with Luuk trying to balance the nascent relationship with the needs and resistance of his daughters and ex-wife Suzanne. But before their budding connection has time to bloom into lasting love, fate intervenes, and Masha and Luuk find themselves grappling with questions usually encountered only after decades of marriage. Passion, humor, and heart-wrenching drama fill director Nicole van Kilsdonk's emotionally haunting and poignant tale of love - stirring and seducing the heart. - Pia Chamberlain
