SUGAR OIL PINE WATER
Tove Pils/2021/Sweden/14 min

A group of queers is summoned to perform the ritual of the lesbian odyssey, united by queer experiences, dreams and the relationship to the north. Because desire matters. Because place defines. A tribute to those who were pioneers, walk beside us, have our backs. Those who have made and still make it possible for us to live our lives.

In their films, Tove Pils work with themes revolving around power, sexuality, gender and the crossing of boundaries. They work with both documentary and fiction, and their previous projects include Take My Sex Away (2007), To not explode (2008), PUSH ME (2014).

Vida is waking up from a horrid nightmare finding out that her parents are going to divorce. Shortly after Vida´s mother is introducing a new boyfriend. A short drama taking place in Malmö in 1988 about changing father figures from a five-year-old girl’s perspective.  It’s an aesthetic, poetic, and heartwarming story about family love, divorce, and fear of change.
