It all adds up.
This comedy-drama has a definitively addictive chemistry.
The elements are: a family that loves life, a grandfather who never really left them-and a child and teenager who happen to be one in the same and bring them all to life a combination of memories and the present tense.
The result is a series not to be missed. A HEARTBEAT AWAY capitalizes on the charm of small town French Canada as a picturesque on-location window on the boundless energy and confidence which are part of coming of age. And its comic streak always strikes a balance with realism.
PATRICK and what he goes through from day to day act as a natural hub-for celebrating difference, making discoveries, adapting to change and appreciating the importance of one.s roots, as well as the strength and fragility of feelings.
PATRICK the young adult, and PATRICK the child evolve in parallel, in the same environment. PATRICK at 19, is and always will be a mirror of what he was ten year earlier. Naturally - what an individual those we love and they live on through us. Memories are what make us a whole, aren.t they?
Alongside PATRICK the teenager young PATRICK is also very much alive and animated. He is perfect sketch of the young adult. Of course, he lives in the year 1982-and in teenage PATRICIK.S everyday outlook and action. Both characters will steal your heart.
Laugh, cry and fall in love. Relive summer by the beach, first love, family crises, school, sports, moving to the city, losing someone special - and so much more.
