Daniel is on the run. After a tragic accident, for which he feels responsible, he is hunted mercilessly by Costel's brother. He seeks refuge in a rundown hotel on the fringes of society, caught between guilt and the merciless reality of the underworld. There he meets Francine, a woman who is as mysterious as she is lost. Amidst violence, betrayal and existential loneliness, a fragile connection develops between them – a last hope for redemption or the final fall into ruin? Joan Chemla directs IF YOU SAW HIS HEART as a dark, hypnotic neo-noir that captivates with intense imagery and a melancholy atmosphere. In the leading role, Gael García Bernal delivers one of his most nuanced performances, giving the traumatized Daniel a harrowing depth. At his side, Marine Vacth shines as the enigmatic Francine, whose fate seems inextricably linked to his. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and was praised for its stylish direction and the haunting performance of its leading actor. A visually stunning drama that blurs the lines between guilt, love and hope.
Unjustly blamed for the death of his best friend Costel, petty crook Daniel is cast out of his Roma community and finds refuge in a seedy motel.
