Open Hearts
A car accident proves devastating on both a physical and emotional level. Under the guise of Dogme 95, director Susanne Bier presents an emotional story about a chance event and the lasting effect it has on all involved. Joachim and Cæcille are a young couple in love, but shortly after getting engaged Joachim is struck by a car leaving him paralyzed. The driver of the car is married to Niels, and as fate would have it he is treating Joachim's injuries. As they watch over Joachim, Cæcille and Niels slowly initiate an affair that shatters their prior relationships. With bodies and hearts broken, there may be no way to mend these wounds.
