Colombian Film: EL CORAZÓN | Proimágenes Colombia

Synopsis

The symbol of the heart lies at the heart of the world of symbols. Based on this idea, The Heart follows a year in the life of two couples living in a society with a seriously wounded vital organ: a soldier’s heart is torn apart by shrapnel from a land mine; his life is saved by one of the heart surgeons from the medical team that holds the world record for the most open-heart operations. The soldier is forced to retire from the army but, inspired by his love for his new wife and the child they are expecting, he battles to earn a living. Meanwhile, the surgeon’s wife is diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmia. The pulse of these different characters draws an electrocardiogram of a nation, Colombia, consecrated a century ago to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in an attempt to save it from ongoing war.
