Map of the Human Heart
Born in the magic of youth. Forged by the passions of war. Their love knew no boundaries.
Overview
In an Arctic village in 1931, British mapmaker Walter Russell selects 12-year-old Eskimo Avik as his guide. When the boy contracts tuberculosis, Walter flies him to a Montreal hospital, where Avik meets Albertine and is infatuated. A decade later, a grown Avik encounters Albertine again in London, where he's serving as a British combat pilot. Despite her relationship with Walter, she and Avik begin an affair.
This movie has all of the feel of an epic but for some reason…. isn’t. Maybe an epic-lite? It probably doesn’t help that the movie looks a bit dull. The story is good but the acting is somewhat lacking. I enjoyed it but felt that it could have been better.
