The Heart of a Lion (Leijonasydän)


The Heart of a Lion attracted me with its plot. The story of a White Supermacist falling in love with a woman who has a child from a black Muslim. She has doubts but he loves her very much and convinces her to let him in their house and be a stepdad for the kid. He is a gang leader and it takes sometime and pain for him to see the light.

I love redemption stories and totally bought that he saw what is right in the end. I loved the close up shots and how the story is told in linear fashion with some twists towards the end. I have cried.
All the actors were good and I think this may actually be the first Finnish film I have seen. Very happy to like it and recommend it.
