SAUNA
Country: Denmark
Year: 2025
Duration: 105'


Johan has just started working as a receptionist at Adonis, Copenhagen's only gay sauna, where he spends much of his time. For Johan, the city is a boundless paradise of opportunities. Everything changes when he meets William, a transgender man with whom he falls madly in love, defying social norms about gender and relationships. Johan and William rewrite their personal histories, their world, and their community, through a new feeling. The two young men move through the hazardous terrain of the queer romantic scene of today, in a society ruled by rigid ideas about gender, love, and identity.
