“Haven’t you ever known someone or something so beautiful that you just wanted to bite them? Consume them?” says Frank Polowski to his new boss. Returning home after a six-month absence, Frank expects his life to be the same way as he left it. Instead, his pregnant girlfriend Jane is missing.
Driven but cocky, Frank searches his world for her. The trouble is, Frank’s world is mostly compiled of betting on horses, loans, and working dead-end jobs. Can he find the truth with his life so complicated by lies? Probing the oft-impractical expectations men have for women, and delving deeply into the age-old conflict of Man vs. Gambling, writer/director Ben Rodkin creates a realistic character study by focusing in on Frank and his many dilemmas. The characters never explain what they are feeling, but feel motivated. The muted tones of the world give way to the vibrant colors of the horse track and dreams of winning in races and life. Shawn Andrews is great as the charismatic but troubled Frank, testing your sympathy for anti-heroes, while Seymour Cassel adds a legendary touch as Frank’s boss and advisor. BIG HEART CITY is poetic realism with the street level grit of a revisionist noir.

It's like taking a snapshot in someone's life - you're not sure what happened before and you dont know what is going to happen after - but for the duration you are fascinated to learn about these characters in the picture....
