The powerful and erotically charged story of Santiago, a middle-aged gay man who loses his way during an eventful summer in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro.
Following a recent bitter breakup, single father Santiago’s life is further complicated when his teenage daughter with whom he shares an emotionally charged bond decides to move out. Santiago’s fear of loneliness and craving for intimacy lead him to act out in increasingly self-destructive ways. Boasting a critically acclaimed performance from Argentinian star Leonardo Sbaraglia (Pain and Glory, QSFF19), Wandering Heart is a must-see film that sensitively and courageously explores what lies beneath Santiago’s apparent emotional detachment.
