Permission

2018 · 99 min

A tender, uncomfortable look at love and monogamy that feels like a long, honest conversation with friends.

Tagline: How can you be certain he is the one, if he is the only one?
Overview: Anna and Will, were each other’s first every-things: first kiss, first love, first and only relationship. Now, 10 years in, at Anna’s 30th birthday party, as Will is about to propose, the couple’s best friend makes a drunken toast, suggesting that they should sleep around before their inevitable marriage. The joke lands like a lead balloon, but the thought lingers until Anna proposes that they try opening their relationship – as a sexual experiment.
How it feels: Melancholic, romantic, earnest and tense. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Love, identity, sexuality, betrayal
Content: Strong sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
