A decade has gone by and the spirit of the preceding film, Dom kallar oss mods, has disappeared. Kenta is an alcoholic and lives with his girlfriend Eva. Together they have a son, Patric. Kenta's mom is in jail for manslaughter and Kenta goes to Kronoberg to greet her. Heroin also comes to play and Stoffe is one of those who falls victim to it. He lives with his girlfriend Lena and their young son, Janne. Lena later throws Stoffe out their home when she gets enough of his abuse, and he is forced to live with his mother. Kenta calls Stoffe and decides to meet him, and he tries to persuade him to give up heroin, but the two have a falling out and they separate. This film features other users from the previous film, such as Jajje and Kenta Bergkvist. The film ends with the death of a prominent person in the trilogy.

Que le problème soit physique ou psychologique, le cœur doit être ausculté. Et c’est à l’Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal que le réalisateur Philippe Lesage a choisi de poser sa caméra pour constater avec sobriété des grands maux de notre société : solitude, détresse psychologique, problèmes sociaux, un corps qui ne suit plus une tête qui n’en peut plus. À travers un rythme lent enchaînant les nombreuses séquences captées dans les différentes salles de l’hôpital et à l’aide d’une bande-son totalement enveloppante, Ce cœur qui bat donne un visage à la maladie et prend le pouls de la souffrance.
