Watch on
Max, a 24-year-old aspiring novelist in London, leads a double life: literary magazine employee by day, escort "Sebastian" by night. What begins as research for his writing evolves into an unexpected journey of self-discovery and liberation. As Max's short stories gain popularity and his debut novel takes shape, he struggles to balance his two worlds, finding himself increasingly drawn to the authenticity he experiences in London's underground sex work scene. "Sebastian" becomes more than just a pseudonym, challenging Max to confront his true identity and societal norms in this nuanced, sex-positive exploration of creativity, sexuality, and personal growth.
A raw, unflinching portrait of desire from visionary filmmaker Mikko Mäkelä, director of A MOMENT IN THE REEDS.
