Yes, yes ... around these parts the concept of a gang of twenty-something guys riding around on mopeds would be pretty silly and, honestly, it seems to be done with a sense of humor in Denmark as well, but when the trailer for moped-biker flick The Wild Hearts begins with one of its lead characters being branded, well, you know there's a little bit of intensity to it ...
The Wild Hearts comes via Danish production house Copenhagen Bombay, the production outfit co-founded by Anders Morgenthaler shortly after the release of his feature film Princess, and at first glance tis appears to be the first narrative live action project from the company that has, so far, focused primarily on animation and documentaries. And it looks like they're bringing one huge shot of energy to the Danish film scene ...
A road movie about a group of youths – their search for identity, recognition and love. The film's title refers to a Danish moped club called The Wild Hearts – a group of young men in their early twenties who want to find personal freedom through fellowship. The boys' fellowship and individual dreams for the future are put to the test as they embark on their mopeds in Denmark on a journey through Europe to Pomerania in Poland. Maybe they will never return. The Wild Hearts is more than a club; it's a state of mind that leads you through back roads into the depths of your soul. Freedom has its price!

Kinda awesome.
I liked the the dialouge at the end. Rough translation:
#1: The only thing I'm fucking hearing about is all this pussy pussy pussy!
#2: What's the only pussy you see? You're fucking running around with that naked dick CONSTANTLY. You're not even fucking wearing pants when I'm talking to you!
It will be playing at Hot Docs in Toronto, and it's on my list!
