Give Me Your Heart

The tragicomic story of a confused pop star who is given a second chance, not just musically. Schlager star Alexander Ludwig is suffering from amnesia after a heart attack. He forgets repeatedly who he is and what his goal in life was. At a rehabilitation facility he meets Heinrich, a pianist paralyzed on one half of his body due to a stroke. Together with two other disabled men they found a jazz combo. The fact that Alexander does not recognise his own music and actually finds it hideous, is less of a problem for him than the young woman who visits him daily claiming he married her two years ago. Yet he remembers a completely different family… A story carried by its absolute devotion to its characters and full of optimism, which tells of how even a catastrophe can lead to something new and better

Festivals/Awards:

TV-Producer Award Filmfest Hamburg, Sektion 16:9
“This film captivates through its lightness, its precision, its fantastic production design, and its love for its characters. Sad and wistful on one hand, funny, ironic on the other it finds an unusual balance that charmingly ensnares the audience.”

From the jury decision for the Producer Award 2010, Filmfest Hamburg.
