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 is an annual festival in Norway, celebrating 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 with the restrictions due to the pandemic, the event was reduced to a digital happening. In the weeks and months leading up the the event, the social behaviour of the entire population changed radically, preventing all kinds of physical contact between people, leaving everyone craving for physical contact with loved ones. Thus, for once everyone experienced for a what life is like permanently for LGBT people in countries where non-hetero sexual relations are forbidden.
