Reality and fiction merge in this film about - and featuring - professional actors with intellectual disabilities, which explores the heart-rending tensions between what its spontaneous stars want and are able to do, and what they are allowed to do. Inside My Heart is a film that moves between the magic of an opera and the depth of a documentary. The frequently endearing scenes about human limitations leave no viewer unmoved. And so it gradually becomes clear why Saskia Boddeke is drawing attention to how people with disabilities are patronized. With this story, the idiosyncratic director also poses timely questions about the need for laws and regulations.
