Not a Man in Sight

Martine (24) is still developing her identity. She wants to be seen as a masculine individual – not a lesbian. Mette (35) – the film’s director – is dreaming of becoming a mother. She and her wife Stina, face the big question; Is our baby not going to have a father? Marja (78) and Bodil, part of the first openly gay generation, think their new apartment is too masculine and needs “gender reassignment surgery”.

Living. Loving.

In 2013, the world's first senior residence for HBTQ people opened in Stockholm. Agneta, Ingbritt and Thomas move in. They have all had dreams and desires in a time of oppression and constraint. When they begin their lives in the senior residence, new perspectives are gained in their worldview and within themselves.
