Helsinki-based helmer-writer Aino Suni makes her feature debut with “Heartbeast,” a queer love story with a dark twist about a Finnish teen whose mother moves her to France. It world premieres inSuni: The documentary “Never Again” I made about Finnish rapper Mercedes Bentso definitely gave me a lot of inspiration.
The film is a psychological thriller, a coming-of-age story and a drama unfolding in three countries. I love coming-of-age stories.

You see a deeper meaning in everything, you are learning about life, you get to experience something for the first time and that memory will stick with you forever. It sculpts you as a person.
It was difficult to cast Elina’s role – not just because of the language, but also because of the rap skills and stage presence we needed Elina to have.

Elsi Sloan didn’t actually speak French when they came for the audition.
Carmen has a long background in dance and ballet. She is originally from Martinique, a French island in the Caribbean, where her mother Julie Mauduech works as an actor and has an acting school. Carmen moved to Paris some years ago and now works in films and TV .We rehearsed a lot with Elsi and Carmen. I think we had a month of rehearsals together. We went through the script, talked about the characters a lot, we did scenes and sometimes a little improvisation.
