Haunted Heart is the title of a new movie that was filmed in the Greek town of Trikeri on mount Pelion.
The film is a romantic thriller, set to be released on August 23, 2024.
According to critics who have already watched the film, it is an excellent noir-inspired mystery and romance full of dangers and adventure.
The film is directed by Fernando Trueba and the protagonists are acted by Matt Dillon, Aida Folch, and Juan Pablo Urrego.
The story of the film is supposed to take place on a picturesque Greek island where secrets and passion are mixed in an intriguing and fascinating way.
Obviously, the film was not produced on a Greek island, but rather in the picturesque town of Trikeri in Magnesia.
The story follows Alex (Aida Folch), a young Spanish woman who arrives late to start her summer job at a seaside restaurant on an idyllic Greek island. There, however, she finds herself drawn to the mysterious background of the restaurant’s American owner, Max (Matt Dillon).
The owner seems to have serious secrets from his past that affect his life and business. As their relationship begins to get serious and intensify, the dark side of Max begins to emerge, leading to situations that could captivate audiences.
Haunted Heart’s main shooting took place in late 2022 in the stunning Greek town of Trikeri at the southern point of Mount Pelion, the mythical home of the centaurs.
Haunted Heart is film produced by Spanish-Colombian production, and has managed to involve several notable production companies, including Atlantika Films, Fernando Trueba Producciones Cinematográficas, Caracol TV, RTVE, Ekome Greece, Deloitte Spain, Film Constellation.
This international collaboration brings together talented filmmakers and actors from different backgrounds with varying views and artistic styles, creating a unique and intriguing cinematic experience.
Before its general release in Spain, Haunted Heart opened the Atlantida Mallorca Film Festival last July. Distribution rights have been acquired by Signature Entertainment for the UK and Ireland and VMI Releasing for North America.
The film Haunted Heart is set in Greece’s Trikeri
Trikeri is a beautiful small and picturesque Greek town at the westernmost point of the hook-like Pelion Peninsula on the Pagasetic Gulf in the eastern part of the Greek mainland.
Located at a distance of 81km (50 miles) from the city of Volos, it is a truly hidden gem, known and enjoyed by the few lucky ones who know its location.
The actual town of Trikeri is built at the top of a hill overlooking the sea; however, it has a port village, Agia Kyriaki, that serves as its port entrance.
Up until 1970 Trikeri was not accessible by land. The only way for someone to visit it was by sea. This isolation gave Trikeri the characteristics of an island, with its residents becoming famous for their seamanship.
During the Greek War of Independence in 1821, Trikeri had one of the largest fleets of any Greek region.
