Already well known to fans of the international arthouse circuit thanks to his films Noi Albinoi - in Icelandic - and Dark Horse - in Danish - writer/director Dagur Kari is about to go three for three on the language front with his first English language film The Good Heart. Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood) and Brian Cox (Red) star and anyone concerned that Kari's quirky sense of humor or visual style would be affected by working with Hollywood stars can rest easy as these stills make it clear that neither of those things has happened as these are instantly recognizable as Kari's work.

Lucas is a good-hearted young man who has come to an existential dead-end. He is homeless, living in a cardboard box under the Brooklyn Bridge. With a total lack of prospects for the future, Lucas tries to commit suicide, but the attempt is a failure like everything else in his life.

Recuperating in hospital, Lucas is forced to share a room with Jacques, a grouchy, cynical bar-owner whose choleric demeanour and less-than-healthy lifestyle have resulted in no fewer than five heart attacks. With no family or friends and a risk of passing away any day, Jacques takes Lucas under his battered wing with the intention of passing on his idiosyncratic legacy.

Lucas begins a hectic learning process: he has to learn to make the perfect espresso and to adopt Jacques' many bizarre philosophies.
