Oslo Trilogy, The: Sex

Oslo Trilogy, The: Sex

Two chimney sweeps living in monogamous, heterosexual marriages both end up in situations that challenge their views on sexuality and gender roles. One has a sexual encounter with another man, without himself experiencing it either as an expression of homosexual longings or infidelity. The other suddenly experiences nocturnal dreams in which he is seen as a woman. This confuses and disturbs him. He begins to wonder to what extent the gaze of others shapes his personality and whether there are aspects of himself that he has suppressed, thereby limiting himself. A provocative and insightful comedy-drama featuring exceptional performances, Sex is the second installment in The Oslo Trilogy, a planned collection (along with Love and Dreams) from Dag Johan Haugerud, one of Norway's most influential writers and directors.
