Synopsis

25-year-old Max's career seems to be well under way. He's a freelance writer, and his dream of writing a first novel is drawing closer. But at night, he leads a secret life as a sex worker under the pseudonym Sebastian. He meets men through an escort platform and uses his experiences to write. As his double life becomes increasingly risky, a question arises: are Sebastian's escapades a means to authentic stories, or are the stakes higher?

Synopsis

25-year-old Max's career seems to be well under way. He's a freelance writer, and his dream of writing a first novel is drawing closer. But at night, he leads a secret life as a sex worker under the pseudonym Sebastian. He meets men through an escort platform and uses his experiences to write. As his double life becomes increasingly risky, a question arises: are Sebastian's escapades a means to authentic stories, or are the stakes higher?

Yet for all its gloomy aesthetic, there is something life-affirming about the kindness of a stranger who wants to read your work and the power that comes with owning one’s own words and stories.

A performance from Ruaridh Mollica that should put him on the map.
