Seeing the world through the eyes of recovering addict and single mother Lorna (Roxanna Nic Liam), Two Hearts confronts social deprivation and drug abuse in this hard hitting short. Living a fragile but clean life, Lorna finds herself tempted to fall back into old ways when one-time boyfriend Gavin (Johnny Ward) is released from prison. Committed to honestly depicting a drug addict struggling to conquer her own dependencies Two Hearts is a piece of social realism that throws a harsh light on the underbelly of society.
