HÅNDEN PÅ HJERTET is a psychological drama about family man KARL (40), who on paper has it all: a wife, a child and a respected job as a schoolteacher on a quiet island. But beneath the surface, he is losing touch with himself. Driven by a fragile self-image and a growing unease, he begins to act against the very life he has built. What starts as an attempt to hold on to control escalates into a spiral in which Karl will do anything to save the story of himself – even if it means others have to bear the consequences.
