A film groun­ded in Malmö’s skate scene, LUCCA cap­tures raw energy through HD foot­age while stay­ing faith­ful to the fast and close VX1000 aes­thet­ic. Named after the filmmaker’s daugh­ter — dia­gnosed with can­cer at only five months — the film par­al­lels the chaos of skate­board­ing with the unpre­dict­able jour­ney of chemo­ther­apy. Skat­ing in Malmö and Copen­ha­gen unfolds like a meta­phor: messy, chaot­ic, relent­less. Fea­tur­ing Eli­ott Toimin­en, Stef­fen Aus­ter­heim, Fritz Sjös­tedt, Nick­las Sun­dgaard, and many more, noth­ing here is pol­ished. It’s a lived-in doc­u­ment where love, struggle, and resi­li­ence meet.
