René Sascha Johannsen, Denmark, 2020

78 min.DK/DocumentaryMusic films, Portrait films

From an outsider’s perspective, things are going well for Lukas Graham. Every time lead singer Lukas Forchhammer sets a new goal for himself, he achieves it. He is signed to a major international label, he works with some of the greatest music producers, he is flown around to perform his hit song ‘7 Years’ on the world’s biggest stages. On top of this, Lukas becomes a father for the first time. From an insider’s perspective, it is a lot to juggle all at once. Dreams can easily transform into nightmares from one moment to the next.
