Heaven Knows What (2015)

In the frenzied underbelly of New York City, where survival is a relentless pursuit, Harley, a young woman ensnared in the ruthless grip of substance addiction, finds what she believes to be true love. Her heart is held captive by Ilya, her tempestuous lover, whose own life is a chaotic dance with drugs. His love, tainted with abuse, becomes her beacon in a sea of despair, her reason for existing in a world that has forsaken her. However, their twisted bond takes a darker turn as Ilya demands a sacrifice that stretches the bounds of love and humanity. This shocking ultimatum thrusts Harley into a spiraling turmoil. Devotion morphs into a cruel jest, and redemption is only possible through a harrowing act of self-sacrifice. Torn between a desperate longing to appease Ilya and the insatiable lure of heroin, she stands on the precipice of a critical decision. Her life teeters between the consuming love for Ilya and the relentless pull of her addiction. The realization that her misdeeds may only be absolved through a tragic act of self-destruction further complicates her already tangled existence. As Harley grapples to reconcile the discordant threads of her life, she becomes a testament to the raw, unforgiving struggle of love and addiction in a world that offers no mercy. Will she choose her lover or the drug that promises forgetfulness? The answer lies hidden in the grimy streets of the city that never sleeps.
