Two men, both in heterosexual marriages, have an unexpected experience that challenges them to reconsider their understanding of sexuality, gender, and identity. One has a sexual encounter with another man, without considering it either as an expression of homosexuality or infidelity and discusses it with his wife afterwards. The other finds himself in nocturnal dreams where he is seen as a woman, stirring confusion and leading him to question how much his personality is shaped by the gaze of others. “Sex” is part of the Sex Dreams Love trilogy of director Dag Johan Haugerud.
Winner of the ecumenical jury and International Confederation of Arthouse Cinemas (CICAE) awards in the Panorama section at the Berlin International Film Festival.
