Johan is an ordinary young man who keeps all doors open when it comes to both love andsex. He has landed a job as a receptionist at Adonis, Copenhagen’s only gay sauna, where henot only works but also shares experiences and encounters with the sauna’s other guests.
For Johan, the city is like a boundless paradise of opportunities with bars, parties, and onenight stands, but it is only when he meets the transgender William that he experiences loveup close. The love between the two is put to a tough test, as is often the case when living in asociety governed by rigid ideas about gender, love, and identity.

Calgary Queer Arts Society honours and acknowledges Moh’kinsstis, the lands and oral practices of the Blackfoot Confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations; the îethka Nakoda Nations: Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney; and the Tsuut’ina Nation. We also recognize this territory as home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, Districts 5 and 6. Finally, we acknowledge all nations, genders and spirits who live, work, and play across Turtle Island.
We are only the latest to live, create and gather here, and so it is only right that we should acknowledge those who have come before us; their feasts and family gatherings, art, music, dance, storytelling and ceremony, that have been happening right here, on this land, for more generations than any of us can count.
As we enter and care for the relationships made possible through our work, we see every gathering as an opportunity to engage and walk a path of reconciliation; in doing so, we hope to build connections of inclusion, respect, and shared creativity.
