What a wonderful, special movie: when Sebastian meets Andreas for the first time, he knows they belong together. As they weave through Stockholm’s back streets and forgotten parks, their intoxicating connection takes hold. While Sebastian defies gender norms – flouting convention in his androgynous fluidity – straight-identifying Andreas becomes unable to accept his attraction to another man, as their relationship progresses.
"Brimming with raw electricity, director Ester Martin Bergsmark’s mesmerizing film captures the intimacy of its subjects with an intensity and charge that is simultaneously transgressive and deeply romantic." (catalogue of the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2014)
