1-1

Directed by Naures Sager

Ayman's hookup with Jonas is crashed by friends Amirah and Samir, which takes a positive turn.
A sex date interrupted by friends sounds like the setup for a disposable comedy, but 1-1 has enough warmth to avoid feeling throwaway. Naures Sager lets the chaos expose how differently each character performs confidence, especially when flirting collides with friendship. The gay short film is unevenly acted, yet its humour, Arabic-Swedish setting and refusal to punish desire give it an easy charm.
