Ester Martin Bergsmark co-writes and directs this Swedish gay-themed drama starring Saga Becker and Iggy Malmborg. The film follows Sebastian and Andreas (Becker and Malmborg), two young Swedes, who must come to terms with their identities and sexuality over the course of a burgeoning relationship. Andreas, who identifies himself as being straight, finds himself struggling with his attraction to the transgendered Sebastian, who, more frequently, has started living as 'Ellie'.
