On a sun-baked, remote Greek island, spirited young Alex arrives to work at a small seaside restaurant and quickly becomes the spark that unsettles its fragile harmony. Her femme-fatale charm draws the attention of the charismatic Enrico, but it's the silent, reclusive manager Max — an American who has lived in quiet exile for decades — who captures her heart. As the seasons change and tourists drift in and out, the rhythm of the island life is underscored by simmering desire and the fragile bonds that hold the staff together.
What begins as a sultry romance slowly unspools into a tense, atmospheric thriller when Enrico starts to uncover fragments of Max’s past. The film balances sunlit beauty with mounting dread, exploring how secrets can fester beneath charming façades and how love can be as dangerous as it is intoxicating. Haunted Heart blends moody romance and psychological suspense into a story about obsession, memory, and the ghosts that follow us even to the most idyllic of places.
