Lionheart

Directed by Nagieb Khaja

With Besir Zeciri, Mohamed Djeziri, Ermela Dhimitri, Yacine Touabti and Ramadan Huseini

Having grown up in the suburbs of Copenhagen, Luan knows the underworld and its rules better than any other life. That’s where he's belonged all his life. Now he wants to get out. The idea is simple. The reality is anything but. Old ties are not severed by a single decision. Issa has been by Luan's side since childhood, almost like a brother in a world where loyalty matters more than blood. A new beginning is not like putting on a clean shirt. You can change your address, your clothes and the company you keep, but the old rules remain. The body remembers how to stand. The eyes know who to trust.
