Synopsis
«Enter a world where women rule. We may not be as harmless as we look»
English:
Welcome to a world where women are on top of the food-chain. At first glance, everything is beautiful, but the empire is not as glamorous it seems. It is a dark place with brutal authoritarian rule. We follow Hector played by Rådebank heartthrob Sjur Vatne Brean, in his training to become the perfect man. Alongside him we meet the character Alvin, played by SKAM star Tarjei Sandvik Moe. Will the men survive and become the perfect man? Or will they be victims of structural abuse?
With this film we want to start a discussion about how women are marginalised and sexualised in everyday life. What needs to change in order for society to change? The film premiered at the Göteborg Film Festival as a part of their Disorder program in February 2022.
