STORY

The Choice of Love follows a young, native Norwegian filmmaker (Sandaker) as he investigates life in the Norwegian gay Muslim community.

Explaining that he “feels free,” Sandaker attempts to discover both the limits of this freedom as well as its price, as reflected in the experiences of gay Muslim refugees to his homeland.
