Write a short summary of what happens in the film

We cut between a mix of different people who in one moment appear lonely in their own homes, and in the next one reunited with their loved ones, of different sexual orientation. A voice over reads out what first resembles covid19 infection control rules, but later turns into restrictions on love. Super at the end reads "Restrictions are not temporary for LGBT people in 68 countries".

Cultural / Context information for the jury

Oslo Pride Festival is Norway's biggest celebration of love, freedom, and diversity. Amnesty International Norway normally have a significant presence at the festival. This year's event was scheduled to take place in June, but because of the restrictions due to the pandemic, the event was reduced to an all digital happening. The film was used and should be judged in that same context.
