First Madrid session of the Americana Film Festival with the film “Hearts Beat Loud”.
Frank (Nick Offerman) has been running a vinyl store for many years. Leslie (Toni Collette), the owner of the place, practically does not raise the rent. But even then the store doesn't work. Thinking about the possibility of closing, one afternoon Frank records a musical theme with his daughter (actress and singer Kiersey Clemons). But while the father, a textbook Peter Pan, still hopes to succeed in the world of music, the daughter, much more focused than him, only thinks about her admission to university and Rose (Sasha Lane), a girl whom she loves. he is falling deeply in love. Everything will get even more complicated when a small chance of success takes shape. And when Frank falls in love with Leslie. And when the relationship between father and daughter is in danger.
