Synopsis:

Hollow Hearts is a dark psychological thriller with erotic elements, designed to unsettle, provoke, and haunt. This is not a traditional love story - it's a dissection of obsession, trauma, and the monsters we create (or become).

Lena Voss, a reclusive artist haunted by her mother's mysterious disappearance, becomes entangled in a seductive and dangerous game with the enigmatic psychiatrist Dr. Elias Kane. Their connection is instant—electric, obsessive, and laced with psychological manipulation. As their relationship spirals into dark obsession, Lena discovers Elias's horrifying secret: he is "The Collector," a man who preserves the hearts—both literal and metaphorical—of the broken women he claims to love. Worse still, she uncovers ties between Elias and her mother's fate, leading her to question her own memories, sanity, and even her identity. When Lena descends into Elias's basement of horrors, she faces an unthinkable truth—she was never just his victim. She was his masterpiece. Now, she must decide: Does she embrace the darkness he crafted in her... or destroy them both?
