Be Still My Beating Heart

Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2019

Be Still My Beating Heart is the hyper-real portrait of a plagued woman who believes her heartbeat's too loud, who is afraid of having feelings and has pushed down the scream for years. This is a story about the liberation discovered when we pursue our authentic selves.

Two adult sisters are existing dysfunctionally, each limited by illnesses affecting both body and mind – one distinctively physically and the other psychologically. The film is a nightmarish, contemporary vision about anxiousness as the predator of a woman’s psyche.
