Leidy, 13 years old, is selling roses in the streets of Medellin, Columbia. One day, her destiny will take a new way : she is called to be the first role for a movie that will meet a great succes during the Film Festival in Cannes, in 1998. She is playing her own role in life, with her partners of misery. But the end is cruel. These actors will all fall again in drug, prostitution, and violence. Most of them will be assassinated, victims of settling of accounts. Today, Leidy, mother of two small children, is in jail for murder. " Take my heart and my roses " is the story of this descent to hell, through the eyes of a poor girl that was dreaming of another life. It’s a modern and universal fable on the human destiny, that no one can ever elude.
