Synopsis
The Glass Heart is a quiet descent into a mind on the edge. A film about the kind of pain that’s easy to miss. It follows someone moving through the world while barely holding themselves together.It isn’t about offering solutions. It’s about making space for the quiet, the fragile, and the unseen. And maybe, by watching, we start to notice those around us a little more.
