DAG JOHAN HAUGERUD

LOVE

A moving, always engaging reflection of situationships and the eternal hope that someone will there for you, later in life

Tor, a gay male nurse at a urology clinic, enjoys cruising on the ferry, where one night he meets someone who seeks—and needs—more than sex. Inspired by his adventures, Tor’s superior, the very single and straight Doctor Marianne, sets off on her own quest for connection. But can older heterosexuals truly be open and polyamorous?



  • After winning Scandinavian awards for his first four features, Dag Johan Haugerud broke out internationally with his Oslo Trilogy: Sex (Berlinale 2024); Love (Golden Lion nominee, Venice Film Festival 2025); and Dreams, winner of the Berlinale 2025 Golden Bear.

    A former librarian, journalist, and dramatist, Haugerud is also a novelist.
