HEARTS WANT is written by Ruth Maramis. Inspired by Jane Austen’s classic novel Persuasion, it’s a complex, female-driven drama set in an English coastal town.
Logline: Two former lovers who reunite for a play by their terminally-ill mentor face the consequences of a secret that could change their lives forever.
Synopsis: Lily puts her Hollywood career on hold to return to her UK hometown to lead her dying mentor Martin’s swan song. The play reunites Lily with her former lover Jacques, whom she left abruptly seven years prior. The reunion leads to a life-altering decision and a chance for personal redemption the three of them have long sought for.
