The symbol of the heart lies at the heart of the world of symbols. Based on this idea, “The Heart” is a year in the life of two couples living in a society whose most vital organ has been seriously wounded: a soldier’s heart is torn apart by shrapnel from a land mine. His life is saved by one of the cardiovascular surgeons from the medical team holding the world record for 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 liv- ing. Meanwhile, the surgeon’s wife is diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmia. The pulse of these different characters draws an electrocardiogram of the nation, Colombia, consecrated a century ago to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in an at- tempt to save it from ongoing war.
