Sacred Heart

Beautiful Nichel Priam becomes disenchanted with her marriage to a successful art dealer in Chicago and escapes to Paris. On her first day there, Nichel writes about her determination to have an affair with "no moral consideration". She explains to her therapist that her reason for going to Paris was to get even as she was convinced that her husband was cheating on her. Nichel meets an intriguing man at a bar named Alexander and begins an uninhibited sexual and emotional affair with him, which prompts an intellectual and sensual awakening. She speaks candidly to her therapist about her need to be controlled and the satisfaction she gets from her escapism. Nichel and Alexander's affair take them both down an unexpected road where they are forced to face their demons and explore the truth about love. (Bushwick Film Festival)
