Heartbeat is an intense story focusing on the sensitive issue of euthanasia. The official description reads, 'What is a human being? At what stage is he alive? At what stage does he cease to be? These are the questions that Saanvi Jain finds herself grappling with as she sets out to make the biggest decision on her life.'

The recently released trailer shows that Khandelwal’s character, an ex air-force pilot met with an accident mid-flight, which shattered his spine and rendered him bedridden and brain dead.

Saanvi Jain (Goenka) is seen conversing with a healthy Khadelwal who is probably a figment of her imagination while the actual patient is still in bed and unconscious. They argue over ending his life as it has been three years and he has no hope for survival.

Heartbeat is first in a series of nine films which will be a part of this short film festival premiering on 15 April 2020.
