Wild at Heart
Free-spirited by nature
Wild at Heart is a 1990 David Lynch film starring Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern—a violent, surreal road movie that won the Palme d'Or at Cannes.
The phrase itself describes someone untamed at their core, resistant to domestication or convention: She was wild at heart, never staying anywhere long.
It also names a 2001 Christian self-help book by John Eldredge about recovering masculine spirituality.
