Promotional If you loved Call Me By Your Name, then you’re bound to love Heartstone. After two sell out screenings at the BFI Flare in London, the gay drama is finally out on DVD in the UK.<\/p>\n
Heartstone follows the story of teenage boys Thor and Kristj\u00e1n who develop a relationship while struggling with their lives at home. Over one long summer in their small fishing village, Thor and Kristj\u00e1n become inseparable. Hanging out with older teenage sisters and friends, they get into scrapes and have adventures.<\/p>\n
Facing the travails of an alcoholic father and a single mother who\u2019s newly back on the dating scene, the two stoically cope with a problematic domestic life by taking refuge and pleasure in each other\u2019s company.<\/p>\n
Sex is never far from anyone\u2019s minds and the rich emotional landscape of early adolescence offers plenty of opportunities and challenges.<\/p>\n
The boys appear unable to articulate what all their friends already suspect, but then things change suddenly and dramatically, offering up some unexpected results.<\/p>\n
