From backstage to the stage, from the magic of an opera to the depths of a documentary, Inside My Heart pushes the boundaries between the rehearsal process and the performance, at the heart of a troupe of professional actors with intellectual disabilities. A radically imaginative film that uses all possible cinematographic means to make the romances, conflicts and questionings of these actors palpable with lightness, literally sucking us in with them in a baroque drama with fairy-tale overtones. Through the themes of homosexuality, eroticism and the relationship to the body, Inside My Heart questions the way we look at things and what we might take for granted.

With more than 50 years of experience as film director, Peter Greenaway (Nightwatching, Eisenstein in Guanajuato) combines the worlds of film and opera at the Verdi Festival in Parma, demonstrating what magic those two can do together with an all new approach to Giuseppe Verdi's Giovanna d'Arco, staged and edited by himself and his wife, Saskia Boddeke. The opera's libretto is based on Friedrich Schiller's 'The Maid of Orleans'. It tells the story of the French national hero Jeanne d'Arc, who defends her country against the English troops during the Hundred Years' War. Constantly torn between her humble roots, her love for King Charles VII and her heavenly task to fight for France, she gains eternal glory by giving her life in the final, victorious battle against England.

O ano 1642 marca uma viragem na vida do famoso pintor holandês Rembrandt, que perde o seu estatuto de respeitada celebridade e se transforma num pobre desacreditado. Perante a insistência da sua mulher grávida, Saskia, Rembrandt aceita pintar a Milícia dos Mosqueteiros de Amesterdão, num retrato de grupo que mais tarde ficará conhecido como “A Ronda da Noite”. Rembrandt rapidamente se apercebe que há uma conspiração em marcha e através dessa pintura encomendada está disposto a pôr a nu os conspiradores, construindo a sua acusação sob a forma de um quadro que desvela o lado hipócrita e negro da época de ouro da sociedade holandesa.
