Sebastian (Saga Becker) meets Andreas (Iggy Malmborg) and falls in love with him; as their relationship evolves, Andreas finds it hard to accept that he’s fallen for a guy, and Sebastian begins to acknowledge the woman inside of himself. The screenwriters’ last film together was essentially a quasi-documentary conversation between them in a bathtub. This fictional drama is more accessible to a wider audience, an emotional and uncompromising look at a young person’s desperate and sometimes destructive search for love and truth – which involves finding her inner ”Ellie”. Above all, the film is boosted by Becker’s performance.
