DESCRIPTION:
Max is a 25-year-old writer living in London and paying his dues working at a literary magazine. On the cusp of finding success in the local lit scene, by night Max moonlights as a sex worker in order to research his debut novel. What begins as a few furtive meetings soon becomes a secret nocturnal life as his alter ego "Sebastian." In a fearless lead performance from newcomer Ruraridh Mollica, Max's emotions cycle through ecstasy, shame, and exhilarating liberation. Far from simply informing his autobiographical fiction, Max's experiences as Sebastian awaken a deeper sense of self, unshackled from societal expectations - all the while threatening his carefully-earned status in the literary community. This Sundance Film Festival selection from writer-director Mikko Mäkelä explores the transgressive power of queer sexuality and the transformative impact that can result from embracing a new identity.
