The Beat That My Heart Skipped (2005) follows the tumultuous journey of Tom, a man in his early thirties torn between his passion for music and his involvement in his father's criminal underworld. Tom, portrayed by Romain Duris, is a gifted pianist who dreams of a career in music, taking advanced lessons from Miao-Lin (Linh Dan Pham). However, he is also a collection agent for his father, Robert (Niels Arestrup), a mid-level gangster and loan shark, and assists in shady real-estate deals with Robert's associates, Sami (Gilles Cohen) and Fabrice (Jonathan Zaccai). Tom's volatile temper aligns well with his role as a gangster's enforcer, but his creative aspirations drive him to prepare for an audition with a concert promoter. Complicating matters further, Tom's affair with Fabrice's wife, Aline (Aure Atika), and his involvement in a feud between his father and a Russian gangster, Minskov (Anton Yakovlev), add layers of tension and danger to his already fraught existence.
