Sex

In Sex, the intriguing drama by Norwegian filmmaker Dag Johan Haugerud, two chimney sweeps navigate their lives and sexuality. When one shares an unexpected sexual encounter with a man, open conversations emerge about desire, identity, and the societal norms shaping their existence. The film delves into why we label ourselves and others, revealing how these labels hinder our true self-discovery.

Haugerud captivates the audience with a unique blend of humor and depth, all without actually depicting sex on screen. The sharp dialogues and strong chemistry among the actors allow the film to tackle its themes in a refreshing manner. Sex is the first installment in a trilogy that will continue with Dreams and Love, offering a valuable perspective on contemporary issues surrounding gender and sexuality. The film premiered at the Berlinale and received numerous awards after this.
