Sex(2025)

Plot Summary

• Sex is a 2025 Norwegian drama written and directed by Dag Johan Haugerud. The film stars Jan Gunnar Røise and Thorbjørn Harr as two friends and colleagues who work as chimney sweeps and who each encounter situations that challenge their long-held ideas about sexuality and gender. One of the men recounts a recent intimate encounter with a client of the same sex, which complicates his understanding of fidelity and orientation, while the other grapples with vivid dreams in which he appears as a woman, prompting deep questions about identity and desire.  Shot largely through dialogue and character interactions, Sex delves into emotional nuance and the complexities of intimate relationships rather than overt plot mechanics. The narrative examines how private thoughts and lived experience intersect with societal expectations around gender and sexuality, offering a grounded, thoughtful exploration of inner life and interpersonal tension. The film has played on the festival circuit and attracted attention for its candid, sometimes subtle examination of modern adult relationships.  With its character-driven structure and reflective tone, Sex will appeal to viewers who enjoy introspective dramas that explore identity and personal transformation without relying on conventional storytelling tropes.
