OUTING portrays the young archaeologist Sven, who found out during puberty that he feels sexually attracted to children. Sven openly talks about his pedophile inclination and his determination to never act on it. The film accompanies its protagonist over four years, and reveals his inner struggle. It raises questions regarding moral limits and the position of people like Sven with society.
"Whatever you think of the guy, it’s hard not to sympathize with him – the roots of his longings seem very deep, and he wants so badly not to be who he is. Wisely, Meise and Reider keep their feelings to themselves, letting Sven tell his story without judgment." (Toronto Standard)
