LINE 18

South of the city of Stockholm lies the suburb of Farsta, a melting pot of people from all corners of the world. But despite their differences, the majority of young men share a common macho culture. For 18-year-old Dani, it's a daily companion. Two years ago, he lost his best friend Ardalan, and since then, he has carried his grief in solitude, afraid to reveal his vulnerability to his friends. His tough facade and jargon become his shield against reality. However, Dani soon realizes that even the strongest shield must eventually be lowered, as he begins to confront his inner turmoil and the need for genuine connection with others.
