'''''Map of the Human Heart''''' (also called '''''Carte du Tendre''''' and '''''La Carte du Tendre'''''; released in the Philippines as '''''War Dragon''''') is a 1992 film by [[New Zealand]] director [[Vincent Ward (director)|Vincent Ward]]. The script for ''Map of the Human Heart'' was written by Australian author [[Louis Nowra]], using a 10-page treatment Ward had written a year earlier as his guide. Ward was originally intended at this time to be directing his script of [[Alien 3|the third film in the ''Alien'' series]], but his dismissal from the sci fi project (leaving him credited solely as providing the story) led to his directing this film instead.

''Map of the Human Heart'', set mostly before and during the [[World War II|Second World War]], centres on the life of Avik, a Canadian [[Inuit|Inuk]] boy. The film stars Robert Joamie and [[Jason Scott Lee]] as the youth and adult Avik. His love, Albertine (played as a child by Annie Galipeau and as an adult by [[Anne Parillaud]]) is countered by the imposing Walter Russell ([[Patrick Bergin]]), who plays a pivotal role as both surrogate father to Avik and his primary rival in Albertine's love. [[Jeanne Moreau]] has a minor role as a [[French-speaking Quebecer|Québécois]] nun. [[John Cusack]] also has a small but important role as the mapmaker to whom Avik relates his incredible tale.
