The Heart That Beats (French: Ce cœur qui bat) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Philippe Lesage and released in 2010.[1] Inspired by his own stay in a hospital after undergoing heart surgery, the film is a meditation on the human condition which profiles the suffering of patients in the emergency ward at Montreal's Hôtel-Dieu hospital, and the dedication of health care workers who strive to relieve it.[2]

The film premiered at the 2010 Montreal International Documentary Festival,[3] before going into commercial release in 2011.[1]

At RIDM, the film won the Cinémathèque québécoise award for Best Quebec/Canadian Film, and Lesage won the award for Most Promising Quebec/Canadian Director.[4] The film won the Prix Jutra for Best Documentary Film at the 14th Jutra Awards in 2012.[5]
