HEARTS AND SOULS

Four ghosts borrow a yuppie’s body in movie to be screened on M-Net.

Four ghosts borrow a yuppie’s body so they can sort him out and take care of some unfinished business of their own.

This is the storyline of the comedy drama Hearts and Souls which will be screened by M-Net on February 24 at 23h00. Directed by Ron Underwood in 1993, it stars Robert Downey Jr, Elisabeth Shue, Kyra Sedgwick, Charles Grodin, Tom Sizemore and Alfre Woodard.

Thomas is a 20-something yuppie who’s so intent on climbing the career ladder that he’s forgotten to have fun. But this changes when the invisible playmates of his childhood reappear, asking him if they can “borrow” his body to sort out some unfinished personal business. The playmates are the ghosts of actual people – a thief, a waitress, a single mother and a librarian -- who died in a bus crash in 1959, the year Thomas was born. Thomas agrees, and comical mayhem ensues.
