"Hearts, Untied" captures not only the emotional distress and sadness inherent in love's powerful impact, but also highlights the destructive, chaotic and tender aspects of young love and heartbreak.

After taking a pill at a birthday party, 18 year old Alice starts to find herself down a psychedelic rabbit hole. Her friends speak her darkest thoughts aloud, reality around her distorts and the façade falls. She’s confronted with a cake, her deepest fear, and she must find her way out of this spiral or else she’ll end up consumed. When she’s pressured by her friends to eat just a single slice, Alice can’t help herself. Her only way out is to put an end to what pains her, but is it herself or her mental illness that must be off with their head?
