Hunting Season (Jaktsäsong)

Mats Strandberg

 

Meet Melinda, a beautiful woman just over 30 who is looking for Mr. Right. But where in the world is she going to find him, when most of her pals are gay men who never leave the Bermuda Triangle of gay bars and clubs? Then meet Magnus, Melinda’s best friend who just wants a nice, average, middle class life – with his friend Sebastian, with whom he’s hopelessly in love. And then meet Sebastian, the writer who lives a clean life in his minimalist apartment. Yet there’s a few dirty secrets hiding underneath this perfect surface. In Stockholm’s gay universe, where Melinda and her pals live, it’s nothing but a 24-hour round of night clubs, TV addiction and spectacularly awful dates. How can everyone find love among the sex, lies and DVD boxes?
