A warm, playful documentary-comedy that explores love through interviews and a budding romance, balancing intellectual curiosity with genuine emotional discovery.

Paper Heart follows Nick and Charlyne on a cross-country journey to document what exactly "love" is. Interviewing ministers, happily married couples, chemists, romance novelists, divorce lawyers, a group of children and more, the determined young girl attempts to find definition and perhaps even experience the mysterious emotion.
