My Vague War

(Erik Dahlberggatan 30)

1994. The year when hundreds of Swedes and Estonians die in the Baltic Sea when the Estonia sinks, when the Swedes vote on the EU and when the Swedish National football team wins gold in the USA.

Jenny is 23 years old and lives with some lesbian friends in the centre of Göteborg. In the big and beautiful old apartment lives Linda who calls herself Jenny’s best friend, Ange who’s hiding refugees and selling organic vegetables, and then there is Sara. Sara who fights against the EU and who can paint an S in the air when breathing out in the cold winter evenings.

Jenny has stopped playing football and she does not really know what to do or where to go. What wars will she fight? She needs a battle. Being homo means that you face injustice over and over again. But in what direction should she strike? She tries to put her energy on a documentary about a lesbian woman who was beaten up by some neo-nazis. Together with her friends and beautiful Elise they interview the victim and some nazis. When Elise enters the room, Jenny gets disgusted and hungry at the same time. Elise who can make the air shiver and who always gets what she wants. If the wars on the outside are vague and unclear, the wars inside are even harder to win. Jenny who is deeply and warmly in love with Sara, can she resist on the hunger for Elise, and does she really want to?
