Brave New Love
Is it possible to love two people at once without eventually having to choose one and give up the other?
Kate (Kathrine Thorborg Johansen) lives happily with her husband and their daughter while simultaneously sharing a romantic relationship with another man. After years of secrecy, the fragile balance of her double life begins to unravel. Caught in a turbulent chaos of societal norms, body fluids, Greek mythology, shame, laughter, intimacy and madness, Kate embarks on an existential and clumsy struggle to redefine love.
“There are so many rules and inherited expectations attached to love. I wanted to explore these often absurd ideas through wit and sensuality, and create a mirror for the loneliness and power of a heart set on fire.” - Maria Bäck, director
The film premiered at the Locarno Film Festival.
