Alex lives on the margins of society, hustling his way through life with help from the candy gangster, Murat. Out of the blue, his ex-girlfriend Nikoline shows up and insists that Alex take responsibility for their young son, Adam — a boy he has barely seen while serving time in prison. As Alex slowly embraces his new role as a father, he begins to dream of starting his own candy empire. But the shadows of his past still haunts him, and he soon reaches a crossroads where he must choose his path. CANDY KINGS is an intense and emotionally charged drama about a father and son’s journey toward reconciliation. It’s a story about daring to grow up — and about finding the strength to rise after falling, to take responsibility for yourself and those you love. Following the political thriller “Sons of Denmark” (2019) and the sci-fi drama “Eternal” (2024), director Ulaa Salim now ventures into a new genre with the gripping drama CANDY KINGS, which he both writes and directs.  Alex lives on the margins of society, hustling his way through life with help from the candy gangster, Murat.
