Lucky One

Just as in Engberg’s Guldbagge-awarded documentary Belleville Baby, a dialog between Mia and Vincent is in progress. “Yes, but imagine if,” Mia says, and unfolds a long story that is not possible. Together with the recalcitrant Vincent, she develops a painful, modern and at the same time timeless tale. The aging gangster Vincent works long nights and dreams about another life. When he is unexpectedly given responsibility for his teenage daughter, Adina, life begins to change. The film takes place in Paris and at a secret place somewhere near you. (Göteborg Film Festival)
