Heartbreak 101: a film by Dolcerocca and Mathias Hovgaard

Everyone remembers that feeling of being madly in love as a teen, to then have your heart brutally broken.

Nobody hands you a manual as we smash headfirst into love, sexuality and breakup.

Heartbreak 101 unsentimentally mashes up the private lives of the teenagers it portrays, in a one-liner odyssey of emotional turmoil, as they try to figure out love. In a tender yet chaotic collage of human (in)experience the film speaks to the young lovers, though leaving no promise of unbroken hearts.

The project was created in collaboration between directors Christophe Dolcerocca of Missing Link Films and Mathias Hovgaard of Station Film in an experimental approach to bridge interview documentary with contemporary fashion and lifestyle aesthetics - as well as an attempt to remember how it feels to be 17 again.
