'Take Heart' is the sewing and surrealism story of a Girl and Boy who are each willing to give their battered hearts but unable to find true love. Lonely and unloved in Brighton, a Girl clutches her battered heart offering it to anyone who passes but can't find anyone who wants it. Across the street is a Boy who thinks he has found his true love, but didn't count on his own fickle fidelity when the mesmerising Siren appears.
