Be Still My Beating Heart is the hyper-real portrait of a plagued woman who believes her heartbeat is too loud, who is afraid of her emotions and has pushed down the scream for years. Two adult sisters, Diana and Sarah, are existing dysfunctionally, each limited by illness – one physically and the other psychologically. The film is a nightmarish vision capturing one woman’s experience of anxiety.
