Heal the Living

About This Movie

Heal the Living is a poignant exploration of life, connection, and the fragility of existence. The film weaves together disparate stories of teens caught in a surfing trip, a woman facing the reality of her heart condition, and the medical professionals grappling with their own struggles. There's an intimate, almost ethereal quality to the cinematography, capturing both the beauty of the ocean and the weight of human emotion. The pacing meanders, reflective of the characters’ journeys, leading you to ponder their decisions and consequences. Performances are raw and genuine, with a particular emphasis on the emotional weight carried by the medical team. The practical effects—especially in the medical scenes—are handled with a subtlety that enhances the realism without veering into melodrama.
