Paper Heart

2009 · 88 min

A quirky, gentle docufiction that ambles through interviews and shy romance, charming and a little wistful, like a handmade scrapbook about love.

Tagline: A story about love that's taking on a life on its own.
Overview: 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.
How it feels: Whimsical, warm, earnest and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Love, identity, loneliness, friendship
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
