Scarred Hearts: "Scarred Hearts" is inspired by Romanian author Max Blecher's novel, which is set in nineteen thirty-seven. It centers on Emanuel, a man in his early 20s, who spends his days at a sanatorium on the Black Sea coast, suffering from bone tuberculosis. Falling in love with another patient, he narrates his and his fellow patients' attempts to live life to the full as their bodies slowly wither but their minds refuse to give in.
