THE HEART SELLERS is a warm and funny story of a chance encounter and quintessentially American connection, written by LLOYD SUH (THE FAR COUNTRY) and directed by MAY ADRALES (VIETGONE). When Jane and Luna, two immigrant strangers, meet on Thanksgiving in 1973, they decide to spend this strange, new holiday together over an evening full of shared laughs, dreams, and a frozen turkey that refuses to thaw.
