Map of the Human Heart

When a half-Eskimo boy named Avik (Jason Scott Lee) leaves his Arctic home with a British mapmaker (Patrick Bergin) to seek medical attention in Canada, it marks the first steps in an epic personal journey. In Montreal, Avik meets Albertine (Anne Parillaud), a half-Indian girl with whom his life will be forever linked. Spanning decades and distance through war and adversity, their star-crossed relationship becomes a grand romantic adventure of never-ending intensity!
