Dreaming of Lions
- Logline
- Dreaming of Lions is a surreal tragicomedy about euthanasia.
Gilda, a terminally-ill Brazilian woman in her 60s, meets Amadeu - a terminally ill man in his 20s – at an underground workshop run by the mysterious corporation “Joy Transition International”, which supposedly helps people kill themselves painlessly, for a big fee. When Gilda and Amadeu discover the workshops are a scam, they escape to the island of Mallorca to die on their own terms.
