Sex

2024 · 118 min

Quietly talky and reflective, it turns ordinary conversations into a slow, thoughtful excavation of identity and desire.

Overview
Two married, heterosexual chimney sweeps face experiences that unsettle their views on sexuality and identity. One has a same-sex encounter without considering it either as an expression of homosexuality or infidelity. The other finds himself in dreams where he is seen as a woman.
