The short film Corazón is about a Dominican prostitute named Elena Ramirez (portrayed by Ana de Armas). Her clients don’t know that she’s dying and in need of a heart transplant. She makes the decision to leave Santo Domingo to follow an American cardiologist, Dr. Mario Garcia (Demian Bichir), who might be able to save her life at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, New York.
