Kortfilm Utukt
(Lust)

A film about a brother and sister and what happens when fear colours our perception and makes us uncertain about what is actually happening. Lust is the seventh of the Seven Deadly Sins. The punishment for Lust is to be smothered in fire and brimstone.

In the 16th century, Pope Gregory the Great stipulated the Seven Deadly Sins, which have since become re-occuring themes in literature and film: Pride, Gluttony, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Envy and Lust. In the autumn of 1999, the Norwegian Film Institute invited seven directors to create a film based upon one of the Seven Deadly Sins. The directors drew their particluar sin out of a hat, the only instruction being that the film was to be set in modern day Norway, and humour was encouraged. The Seven Deadly Sins project consists of seven short films, which together present the complexity of human emotions and desires.
