Candy Kings

Denmark

Alex lives on the margins of society, hustling his way through life with help from the candy gangster, Murat. Out of the blue, his ex-girlfriend Nikoline shows up and insists that Alex take responsibility for their young son, Adam — a boy he has barely seen while serving time in prison. As Alex slowly embraces his new role as a father, he begins to dream of starting his own candy empire. But the shadows of his past still haunts him, and he soon reaches a crossroads where he must choose his path.
