Open Hearts
Directed by Susanne Bier
Produced by Zentropa Entertainments, Det Danske Filminstitut
A melancholic, character-driven drama about how a single moment of chance shatters multiple lives and forces people to confront guilt, desire, and the fragility of commitment.
Cecilie and Joachim are about to get married when a freak car accident leaves Joachim disabled, throwing their lives into a spin. The driver of the other car, Marie, and her family don’t get off lightly, either. Her husband Niels works in the hospital where he meets Cecilie and falls madly in love with her.
