Sebastian

Sebastian explores the transgressive power of queer sexuality and the transformative impact of embracing a new identity.

Max, a 25-year-old aspiring writer living in London, works at a literary magazine and is on the verge of finding success in the local literary scene. By night, however, he moonlights as a sex worker to research his debut novel. What begins as a series of furtive meetings soon evolves into a secret nocturnal life as his alter ego, 'Sebastian'.

In a fearless lead performance from newcomer Ruraridh Mollica, Max’s emotions shift from ecstasy to shame and exhilarating liberation. Far from merely informing his autobiographical fiction, Max’s experiences as Sebastian awaken a deeper sense of self—unshackled from societal expectations—all while threatening his carefully-earned status in the literary community.
