A film trilogy that consists of three loosely connected stories that in different ways speak about the way we behave to achieve our inner longings. Moral fables and existential comedies about sexuality and queer sensibility set in Oslo today.
SEX: A story of two chimney sweepers. One, a happily married heterosexual man, has sex with a male customer out of the blue, but at the same time insists that it is not infidelity. His boss confides his feminine dreams, and how they affect his tone of voice, yes, his entire gender identity.
DREAMS: A 16-year-old girl describes her all-consuming infatuation with her female teacher in a way that makes both her mother and grandmother want to publish her diary because it is so well written. At the same time, they are reminded of their own longings, while the daughter loses ownership of the love.
LOVE: A single woman in her prime is looking for sex and intimacy but doesn’t want to establish a new relationship – to the despair and envy of her surroundings. She meets two men who represent two different forms of love, and who in their own way challenge her desire to be true to herself and explore her own feelings.
Feature film Sex
SEX follows two men in heterosexual marriages whose unexpected experiences challenge their perceptions of sexuality, gender and identity. One has a sexual encounter with another man, without experiencing it either as an expression of homosexuality or infidelity. The other finds himself in nocturnal dreams where David Bowie sees him as a woman, stirring confusion and leading him to question how much his personality is shaped by the gaze of others.
