Whilst we sleep peacefully in our beds the streets of New York are burning with drugs. On one street corner, a lover demands blood, on another, a dealer kindly offers free transfusions. In a powerful fusion of fiction and documentary, actors and real characters reveal the legends of the streets, while telling the story of a young addict in search of crazy love on the streets of Manhattan. Adapted from the unpublished memoirs by Arielle Holmes, protagonist of the film, Heaven Knows What evokes the emotional rawness of Cassavetes and dreaminess of Philippe Garrel. Venice and Toronto 2014.
