In 'The Lion' a father aches with the loss of his wife. A son burns with guilt because he wasn't there when his mother passed away. Now both live parallel to one another in silence and grief on a dwindling little farm. One day will begin like the others but something will happen that will change father and son forever. The father Joachim will become lethally wedged under a two ton tractor and his son Atom will come to his rescue in a way that creates myths and legends. Actions speak louder then words.
