Lucky

2026 · 88 min

A slow, suffocating descent into disillusionment, where hope curdles into exhaustion and every small victory feels borrowed.

Overview: When Lucky moves from India to Scandinavia on a student visa, it's a lifelong dream come true. But in Copenhagen Lucky's dream collides with a harsh reality in which people line up to take advantage of his situation, while he has to work day and night to keep his visa. What started out as a golden opportunity increasingly feels like a trap, as Lucky begins to fathom the ramifications of going abroad.
