The feeling you get when you meet Henry and Grace for the first time makes you want to answer the questions ‘who are they?’ and ‘what’s their story?’. It’s filled with heartbreaking secrets and a rollercoaster of emotions. Yet this isn’t your typical ‘boy-meets-girl’ kind of film.

Why is that? Instantly, they have a connection and it soon becomes intriguing to watch. He’s a writer but can’t talk, yet she can talk but can no longer write. They are automatically drawn to each other with their love and passion for literature, poetry and the language of romance. One day he meets transfer student Grace Town, and from the get go, you know she has a story to tell, with her quietness and the resilience she has for keeping personal information just that – personal. However, he believes he is a hopeless romantic even though he’s never actually been in love before. His life seems ‘normal’, mundane and simple. The film sees Lili Reinhart ( Riverdale and Hustlers ) as Grace Town and Austin Abrams ( The Walking Dead, Paper Towns and Euphoria ) as Henry Page, with Reinhart also serving as an executive producer alongside Sutherland and Jamin O’Brien.Ĭhemical Hearts is a story about Henry Page, a 17-year-old high school student who has his eye on becoming the next Editor-in chief of his school newspaper. Written and directed by Richard Tanne, Chemical Hearts is based on the book Our Chemical Hearts by Krystal Sutherland.
