Lionheart

Denmark

Inspired by a true story - LUAN (29) has spent most of his life in a gang, but the years in this brutal environment have taken their toll on him. He begins to plan his exit - not only from the gang, but also from the neighborhood where he grew up alongside his best friend, Issa. Slowly, a new life takes shape. But Luan quickly realizes that it will not be easy to find his footing in his new reality. Saying goodbye to his old life also means saying goodbye to everything he knows and understands.
