With Every Heartbeat, which stars Ruth Vega Fernandez and Liy Mjönes, is expected to make rounds on both LGBT and mainstream 2012 film festival circuits.
Here is the film’s synopsis:
Mia (Ruth Vega Fernandez) and her fiancé Tim set off on a trip to attend the engagement party of her father Lasse, who she has not seen in years, and meet his new soon-to-be wife Elisabeth. There, Mia encounters Elisabeth's daughter, and her future stepsister, Frida (Liv Mjönes). As edgy, uptight Mia and serene Frida get to know each other; strong emotions are stirred, sparking a passionate love affair. The unexpected, forbidden relationship forces the women to make painful, and life-changing, decisions. Filmed in the stunning countryside of Sweden, With Every Hearbeat is a vibrant and sincere film that follows one woman's journey to self-discovery.
