The Beat of our Hearts

Details

In an empty library, under a blanket of watchful stars, four friends come together after suffering a bitter loss – something precious has been taken from them. But the discovery of an old sepia photograph changes everything. A spark is rekindled and an idea blossoms that will shine a whole new light on the small LGBTQIA+ community in their quiet seaside town. Valentine, Luca, Dove and Quill share their own personal experiences of struggle and acceptance, friendship and isolation, despair and irrevocable hope in this tender and poignant exploration of loneliness and belonging.
