Summer 1996, north-east coast of Brazil. Tamara (Maya de Vicq) is enjoying her last weeks at the fishing village she lives in before departing to Brasilia for her studies. One day, she hears about a teenager nicknamed Heartless (Eduarda Samara) after a scar she has on her chest. Over the course of the summer, Tamara feels a growing attraction for this mysterious girl.

Winner of Best Brazilian Film at the São Paulo International Film Festival and a world premiere at Venice, Nara Normande and Tião's HEARTLESS “captures the sensuality and uncertainty of the end of adolescence in a beguiling first feature film” (Cineuropa).

“A highly sensorial exploration of class and longing set against the backdrop of Brazilian coastal nature.” –Flipscreen
