Laura has just returned to Denmark after a short stint as a porn star in the U.S. Attempting to start over isn’t easy, as she finds herself constantly haunted by the pornographic videos and images of her that remain on the internet. Meanwhile, Laura’s ex, Niklas, is freshly out of rehab, trying to manage his drug addiction. Niklas’s teenage brother, Frederik, is also in a period of self-discovery, trying to create a macho image of himself among his peers and constantly finding himself in challenging situations of his own making. NEON HEART follows Laura, Niklas, and Frederik, each of whom find themselves on their own solitary journey as they attempt to piece their lives together. While each character only briefly intertwines with the others’ storylines, the parallels of these complicated characters dealing with the consequences of their actions make for a reflective and dynamic cinematic experience.
