“Heart Spectrum” is an atmosphere, a search in the drift.

Synopsis
Mercedes is a 33-year-old woman wandering through the city who finds herself in a variety of situations that keep changing direction. Along the way she encounters strangers, mysterious animals and robot angels. She hooks up with people on Tinder and has casual sex. She feels great, she feels miserable, she dances, she laughs and she loses a tooth. Between a sense of empowerment and feeling like an object, Espectro Corazón is a film that attempts to talk about desire from a non-masculine and non-hetero-normative perspective. An exploration of the ambivalences and dichotomies, the emptiness, anguish and liberation that characterise the digital age in which we live.
