Untamed Heart

Untamed Heart is a sweet and low-key romance with a tendency towards tears. The waitress Caroline has big problems with love. She bumps into lots of men and falls in love with them, but they are always the wrong ones. When, late one evening after work, Caroline is subjected to a brutal attempted rape, which the restaurant's dishwasher Adam prevents by knocking the two attackers down, a friendship blossoms between Caroline and the shy Adam. Later the relationship develops into the great love, but of course it cannot last. Adam has a heart condition that requires an imminent heart transplant, but at the orphanage where he grew up, one of the nuns told him the story of how his father had saved his life by putting in a baboon's heart in place of his own diseased one. That is why Adam, who believes in the story wholeheartedly, will not accept the offer of a transplant. So things go the way they must.

Untamed Heart is in many ways rather predictable, but the film contains interesting and charming characters who make it a somewhat different love story.
