A dystopian thriller set in a future where everyone lives without human contact, closed inside individual apartment boxes; a life where everything is provided to every human to survive.

Simon, who remembers how it used to be in the Outside World, finds it hard to cope with the entrapped everyday life. He wonders if the way humans live is what’s making him start to lose his mind or if it’s just him doing it to himself. He goes to an appointment with Doctor W in search of help, but things only get worse. When he becomes infatuated with Rebecca, a woman he has evidence he knows but also can’t remember, it becomes clear something isn’t right.

What would it be like, to live in a world without human contact or the need to do anything to survive? Heart 2046 looks at how it could prove challenging, both emotionally and psychologically.
