A love story between two young men where one is the androgynous Sebastian and one is Andreas who is not gay. They form a unity. It's them against the polished Swedish Ikea-society. They dream about escaping boredom and the risk of becoming what everyone else is. And then there is Ellie - the superwoman growing inside of Sebastian who Andreas loves and fears.

Grounds for decision	Framställningen innehåller våldsinslag såsom misshandel på en toalett, en man hålls i stryptag mot en vägg, örfilar, och en man som krossar en flaska i huvudet på en man. Detta i kombination med en stundtals tung stämning med destruktiva sekvenser såsom en man som river sig själv på kroppen och en man som skär en annan man samt förvirrande inslag såsom en naken man som urinerar på en annan man och en naken man som kastas på en säng och binds fast bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet hos barn under 15 år
