(2024, Norway, 119')

Marianne is a doctor living a single life. One evening, after a blind date, she meets Tor on the ferry, a healthcare assistant who often spends the night there looking for chance encounters with other men. A sincere conversation about feelings arises between the two, leading Marianne to reflect on the weight of societal norms. Fascinated by Tor’s ideas, she begins to consider the possibility of embracing free love more freely. This is the second chapter of the Sex, Dreams, Love trilogy (the first caused a stir in Berlin), where the director explores the possibility of thinking and behaving outside conventional rules.
