Something Must Break
Ester Bergsmark
Fiction : 81' / Trans, Romance, Queer, Identity

A tender and intense love story between two young people. Sebastian/Ellie who refuses to identify as the stereotype of a boy, and Andreas who doesn't consider himself gay. They'll form a unity - it's them against the bourgeois Swedish IKEA society. They dream about escaping boredom and the risk of becoming what everyone else is. Meanwhile, Ellie's internal monologue as a woman goes stronger.
