Synopsis

Marianne, a pragmatic doctor, and Tor, a compassionate nurse, are both avoiding conventional relationships. One evening, after a blind date, Marianne encounters Tor on the ferry. Tor, who often spends his nights there seeking casual encounters with men, shares his experiences of spontaneous intimacy and meaningful conversations. Intrigued by his perspective, Marianne begins to question societal norms and explores whether such casual intimacy could also be an option for her.
Kjærlighet is the next film in the trilogy Sex Drømmer Kjærlighet.

Director’s Statement

In many ways, this film is utopian: it is about trying to achieve sexual and mental closeness with others without necessarily conforming to the societal norms and conventions that govern relationships. I believe fiction plays a crucial role in envisioning possible worlds and alternative mindsets. It allows people to express themselves and act in ways that are often unusual. This serves as an inspiration to think differently in real life. With Kjærlighet—and the entire trilogy—my primary goal has been to convey that it is possible to envision new ways of thinking and behaving.
