Heart of a Lion

(2013)Directed by Dome Karukoski99 minDrama
“Fatherhood or fatherland. Love or hate.”

Teppo (Peter Franzén) runs with a neo-Nazi crew in Finland, and his half-brother Harri (Jasper Pääkkönen) is the one he answers to. Then he falls for Sari (Laura Birn) and learns that her young son Rhamadhani (Yusufa Sidibeh) is black. Dome Karukoski keeps the story on Teppo, a man whose loyalties pull him in two directions at once, and who has no idea yet which one will win.
