Two married, heterosexual chimney sweeps face experiences that unsettle their views on sexuality and identity. One has a same-sex encounter without considering it either as an expression of homosexuality or infidelity. The other finds himself in dreams where he is seen as a woman.

Opening up a social world of sex to the soothing erotics of conversation, Dag Johan Haugerud’s drama airs taboos in the crisp Norwegian sunlight. One in a tessellating trilogy, this sensitive film is lifted by empathetic performances that work to find the hard and the soft in modern masculinity.
