Winter Lions
Opening with a tragic crime, whose perpetrator attempts to hide his tracks, including his relationship to people in power and organized crime. The father of the victim – his daughter – who thought he had left behind a life marked by violence, decides to seek justice on his own, crossing red lines from which there is no return. If there is anything more dangerous than a father defending his children, is a father who no longer has any children to defend.
