About the artworkAt last they will get to meet more people like themselves, gays who share their values. Four young members of the socialist group Röda Bögar [Red Gays] are on their way from the Gothenburg region to an international liberation camp in southern France. The year is 1977, and the fight for gay rights is sweeping across Europe. In the video work, young activists today read the travelogue written by the earlier generation. The travellers’ longings and desires are accompanied by hesitation before the encounter with more experienced men down on the Continent. The Swedish country lads are forced to relate to new ideas on femininity as a weapon in the struggle. The film grows into a touching document about belonging and learning to accept oneself by accepting others.
