Lionheart

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 secretly begins to plan his exit – not only from the gang, but also from the neighbourhood where he grew up alongside his best friend and right-hand man, Issa.
Slowly, a new life takes shape. A job, a daily routine. An alternative to the streets. But Luan quickly realises that it will not be easy to find his footing in his new reality as a law-abiding citizen. Saying goodbye to his old life also means saying goodbye to everything he knows and understands. A farewell to Issa. When a conflict with Luan's former gang leader suddenly threatens to ruin everything, it becomes clear that breaking with the past is not just a difficult choice. It is his only way to survive.
LIONHEART is an authentic drama about friendship, courage and the difficult path out of gang life, inspired by a true story.
