This is a non-journalistic documentary on the life of the 47-year-old hardened criminal “Lonne”. Faced with a newborn he has to deal with fatherhood. We follow him in his first years as a free man, after serving eight years for selling heroin. Lonne has hidden a large amount of cash from his previous crime and has decided to stay clean and take care of his newborn son, and live pace-ful life with his girlfriend. But life suddenly takes a dramatic turn when something terrible happens to the newborn child. His life is turned upside-down. “The Gangster´s Son” is a feature film-like documentary about the big problems of life. It is provoking by showing crime as not as a sensation, but as a normal part of everyday life. It provokes the viewers moralism –and shows how close a documentary maker can go to the people he describes by spending years with him. The director had know Lonne for more than four years before he started shooting. All in all, “The Gangster´s Son” was two years in the making.
