More About This Film
2 of Hearts follows Alzira, a retired seamstress whose quiet routine revolves around a weekly card game with friends. When her usual gambling partner stops appearing and begins spending time dancing instead, Alzira finds herself confronting feelings and memories that she has long kept hidden.
