Beat Beat Heart

Kerstin believes wholeheartedly in romantic love and has been waiting for months for her ex-boyfriend Thomas to return.

She has made herself comfortable in sugary memories, when suddenly her mother Charlotte appears at the door and wants to move into her flat share. Because Mom accidentally broke up with her partner in her mid-50s and now doesn't know where to go. That the two women deal with their longing differently becomes clear at the latest when Charlotte is unceremoniously inspired by Kerstin's flatmate to meet new men via an app and bring them home with her. Kerstin's daydreams are now interrupted more and more frequently by reality, in which true love has become a hopeless coincidence.
