Heal The Living 12A
A family are faced with an unimaginable decision; their son lies in a coma, brain-dead but visibly living, whilst a mother of two awaits the chance at a new life. A surprising and extraordinary piece of cinema, Heal The Living is crafted with dream-like visuals that are a feast for the eyes but ravage the heart. It’s approach to the topic of organ donation is tender, sensitive and compassionate and the interwoven lives of its characters champion human sensitivity allowing for room to celebrate life rather than dwelling on loss.
A remarkable and assured third feature from French director and screenwriter Katell Quillévéré, who wowed festival audiences in 2010 and 2013 with Love Like Poison and Suzanne.
