Two married and heterosexual chimney sweeps encounter situations that fundamentally change their views on gender and sexuality. The first sleeps with another man, but does not associate his experience with sexual orientation or infidelity. His colleague has a recurring dream in which he feels like a woman. How deeply does the external gaze contribute to the formation of personality? Both friends feel confused and alone. In quiet pauses, looking at the roofs of modern Norwegian houses, the audience is invited to rethink the normative society together with the men. "Sex", the first part of a trilogy about sexuality and the image of a man, was recognized as the best European film in the "Panorama" program of the Berlin Film Festival.
