Map of the Human Heart backdrop

Map of the Human Heart 1993 Directed by Vincent Ward

Born in the magic of youth. Forged by the passions of war. Their love knew no boundaries.

In an Arctic village in 1931, British mapmaker Walter Russell selects 12-year-old Eskimo Avik as his guide. When the boy contracts tuberculosis, Walter flies him to a Montreal hospital, where Avik meets Albertine and is infatuated. A decade later, a grown Avik encounters Albertine again in London, where he's serving as a British combat pilot. Despite her relationship with Walter, she and Avik begin an affair.
