Logline

A heartwarming and humorous urban fairy tale about life’s inexplicable mysteries and the challenges of growing up.

On a cold winter’s day, 14-year-old Ana notices that the metal plate implanted in her arm after an accident is receiving strange, rhythmic messages. Inspired by the signals, she and her best friend compose a melody, the “Heartbeat Song”. However, a young soldier whom she meets by chance reveals to her that it is Morse code. Determined to decipher the message, she embarks on an odyssey through Buenos Aires, which takes her further and further away from her friend and her father.

This film is screened in original version with German voice-over.

Recommended for ages 10 and up.
