Heart/Lung — Official Trailer

Patricia D. Smith

The ambitious pulmonologist at the center of it all — brilliant, guarded, and quietly at war with herself as she chooses career survival over love, decade after decade.

The spirited college grad who becomes Patricia’s first patient and first love in 1984 — and the memory that refuses to fade as the years press on.

One of the ward’s unforgettable voices — a battered but unbroken partner, a probing reporter, and more — each daring Patricia to stop hiding.

Patient #2

A shape-shifting presence across Patricia’s world — nurse, housewife, and confidante — grounding the ward in everyday tenderness and grit.

Patient #3

also plays Dee-Dee

The defiant poet whose verses cut straight to the bone, refusing to go quietly and forcing everyone around her to truly feel.

Patient #4

also plays Mother, Reporter 1, Student & Doctor

The weathered matriarch who haunts Patricia’s memory — equal parts comfort, judgment, and unfinished history.
