Smörgåsbord
A queer love story rocked by a
life-altering decision

Through 3 different timelines; a therapy session, the formation of their relationship, and a mountain hike,
Smörgåsbord
tells the story of a queer relationship and wrestles with the arguments surrounding assisted dying; the emotional & the legal, ultimately challenging the characters and the audience to question their stances on the topic.
