The hybrid documentary MEGAHEARTZ is a film boiling over with ideas. A visually intense and unpredictable film about love and madness, told through four loosely connected stories about women who wish to restart their lives.

Emma is obsessed with a lover from the past, Ernie, who tries to persuade her to let go of everything and move to Ibiza with him. Sofie holds onto a souvenir binding her to the past. Jaquline alternates between spending time in rehab and at The Grand Hotel, wondering where her self destructive tendencies are coming from. And the filmmaker herself, Emily, is forced by her grandmother to visit a house she has vague memories of. Megaheartz is an intense experience about moving from one stage in life to another.
