Living Amongst Lions / Leve blant løver

The film is about young people suffering from a life-threatening disease: cancer. They live among lions, and through existential experiences, crises and reflections they can teach us „immortals“ a good deal about life. It is a paradox that in encountering death we can learn more about how to live.
