Two chim­ney sweeps living in mono­ga­mous, hete­ro­se­xu­al mar­ria­ges both end up in situa­tions that chall­enge their views on sexua­li­ty and gen­der roles. One has a sexu­al encoun­ter with ano­ther man, wit­hout hims­elf expe­ri­en­cing it eit­her as an expres­si­on of homo­se­xu­al lon­gings or infi­de­li­ty. The other sud­den­ly expe­ri­en­ces noc­turnal dreams in which he is seen as a woman. This con­fu­ses and dis­turbs him. He beg­ins to won­der to what ext­ent the gaze of others shapes his per­so­na­li­ty and whe­ther the­re are aspects of hims­elf that he has sup­pres­sed, ther­eby limi­ting hims­elf.
In Dag Johan Haugerud’s Sex, the chim­ney is swept befo­re we get down to busi­ness. Whether hete­ro or homo, wit­ty word­play chal­lenges nor­ma­ti­ve images of men and socie­ty in modern urban Norway.
