These dramatic films feature sexy young men who find that love is not always convenient, simple, or easy to contain. Directors from Denmark and Sweden take the viewers inside the worlds of three young men—a teen interested in exploring his sexuality with a straight friend of his parents, a quiet young man in love with his boisterous roommate, and an insecure man on a camping trip who finds his first love.
Three Summers (Carlos
Oliveira, Denmark, 2006): Every summer Thomas goes
with his parents to a summer house, but only looks forward
to seeing his older neighbor Jørgen. This summer he has
a secret to tell.
Lucky Blue (Håkon
Liu, Sweden, 2007): A Swedish summer night and a
camping site. It’s about grand emotions and first love in
this story of Olle, who, in spite of his insecurities and
fears, finally finds the courage to express love in his
own way.
Flatmates (Kompisar) (Magnus
Mork, Sweden, 2007): Great friends Björn and Hampus
move into a flat together, but underlying tension between
the boys, one straight and one gay, highlights the confusing
line between tenderness and abuse.
