'Heartbeats' revolves around a vague love-triangle of existing friends - shorty twink Francis, and the vampishly beautiful, slightly older Marie; both become acquainted with the classically-curled, ambiguous blonde Nico(las).
The main story is interspersed with 'after the event' cutovers/asides from some of the protagonists/extras; it succeeds admirably on its own terms without these, so why bother?
Very good soundtracking (Vive La Fete, Fever Ray) plus excellent, intuitive use of colour and costume which belie the extreme youth of the director (he's still in his twenties - early twenties, that is..).
