Netflix’s ‘The Heart Knows’ is an Argentinian drama film that revolves around an unlikely love story that transcends death. Written and directed by Marcos Carnevale, the narrative follows a cold-hearted businessman named Juan Manuel, who suffers from an unexpected illness. Following the discovery, not only is he hospitalized, but he also undergoes a heart transplant surgery. With the heart of a humble and loving man named Pedro beating inside his chest, Juan sees life from a different perspective and intends to make the most of his second chance.
While digging deep into the background and origin of his donor’s life, Juan meets Pedro’s widowed wife, Valeria, and falls for her. However, he conceals the fact that he has her late husband’s transplanted heart. At the same time, the businessman gets involved with Pedro’s neighborhood and fights for the cause of the people in his neighborhood. Originally titled ‘Corazón Delator,’ the heartwarming drama movie features a talented group of actors, including Benjamín Vicuña, Julieta Díaz, Peto Menahem, Yayo Guridi, Gloria Carrá, and Bicho Gómez, all of whom play their part in bringing the story to life. Another aspect that helps enhance the visual side of the tale is the apt backdrops of Pedro’s neighborhood, highlighting the change in Juan’s life.
The Heart Knows Filming Locations
‘The Heart Knows’ was filmed in its entirety in Argentina, primarily in the Buenos Aires Province. In the summer of 2024, seemingly in June, the production for the drama movie kicked off and went on for about a month or so, before getting wrapped up in July of the same year. At the end of the shooting, one of the crew members, Guillermo Andres Romero, shared his experience of being a part of the film, saying (translated), “End of the film “Corazón Delator” by Marcos Carnevale, thank the team for the shared in these weeks and the pleasure of making another cinematic experience together. See you next time. Hug.”
Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
Almost all the pivotal sequences for ‘The Heart Knows’ were lensed in the Buenos Aires Province, the largest province of Argentina. From the looks of it, the eponymous city seemingly served as one of the key filming sites, where several interior as well as exterior portions were taped. Reportedly, the production team also traveled a bit south of the city of Buenos Aires and set up camp in Lanús Partido. To be specific, the cast and crew members were spotted shooting various outdoor scenes in and around Las Colonias Central Park at Córdoba & B1824 Remedios de Escalada in Lanús Partido.
For capturing the establishing shots, the filming team supposedly utilized the vast and versatile landscape of the Buenos Aires Province, especially in and around the city of the same name. It is likely that the Valentín Alsina Bridge that connects Buenos Aires and Lanús features in the backdrop of a few scenes. Benjamín Vicuña, who portrays Juan Manuel, took to social media and expressed gratitude for his cast and crew. He stated (translated), “A journey from the heart to an unknown and beautiful place. Thank you @petomenahemok for your leadership, care and talent, thank you @gloria_carra and @carnevalemarcos for enjoying each scene as if it were the first and the last, thank you, @julietadiaz77 for encouraging you to tell this story hand in hand. Thank you all, for being part of this wonderful and honest movie.”
