Bjørn (16) has a special and unconventional bond with his circus dog, Freja. When his family discovers their secret relationship, they separate them, leaving Bjørn filled with shame and confusion. As he attempts to behave like a typical 16-year-old boy, he confronts profound questions about love, acceptance, and how we treat and coexist with our animals.

An absurd modern anti-romantic love story about falling in and out of love, driven by a discussion of the statement made by relationship professionals that "love consists of 20% feelings and 80% willpower".

Real boys skinny-dip, fight with swords and learn to masturbate together. At least that's what the young men in 'Silence and Swords' imagine the boyhood they feel were cheated out of. They are transgender, and now, as adults, they have decided to explore male identity formation in Northern Europe's last wilderness. They have brought along a tent, gas fires and a slightly too clichéd list of all the things they need to experience on an educational journey that turns out to put their loving friendship to the test -- and forces them into a modern existential battle in the middle of the nature they have otherwise always felt betrayed by.
