Two men, both in heterosexual marriages, have an unexpected experience that challenges them to reconsider their understanding of sexuality, gender, and identity. One has a sexual encounter with another man, without considering it either as an expression of homosexuality or infidelity, and discusses it with his wife afterwards. The other finds himself in nocturnal dreams where he is seen as a woman, stirring confusion and leading him to question how much his personality is shaped by the gaze of others.

Sex is part of the SEX-LOVE-DREAMS trilogy of director Dag Johan Haugerud.

Sex had its world premiere in the Panorama section of the 74th Berlin International Film Festival in 2024. Following its debut, the film was selected for the MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2024 under the World Cinema section and was later showcased at the 49th Hong Kong International Film Festival in 2025. The film has received widespread acclaim, earning several prestigious awards, including the Europa Cinemas Label for Best European Film, the CICAE Arthouse Cinema Award and the Prize from the Ecumenical Jury. Additionnally, Sex was nominated for the Amanda Award, presented annually at the Norwegian International Film Festival.
