Inneffebly graceful, Coeurs (Private Fears in Public Places) is a heartbreakingly delicate mediatation on loss, uncertainty and love, made with the kind of serene wisdom available only to true masters - Alain Resnais is undisputibly one of those masters of cinematic innovation.

Based on the Alan Ayckbourn play Private Fears in Public Places, Coeurs is set inside a magically snowbound Paris, where six lonely souls converge and co-mingle in their search for lasting connections.
