Sebastian (2024)

Curated by

Linus Rogge

Written and directed by Mikko Mäkelä. The movie follows Max, who works for a literary magazine by day and as an escort under the pseudonym “Sebastian” by night. His experiences as a sex worker in London inspire his short stories, which are attracting more and more readers. For Max, “Sebastian” is a tool to ground his own literature in authentic experiences. Officially, of course, everything is pure fiction. But while he tries to keep his double life a secret, Max slowly has to admit to himself that the role of sex worker doesn't feel entirely wrong.
