What Is Tabu About?
The premise of Tabu without spoilers.
The film expresses solidarity with marginalised border communities and advocates equal rights for sexual minorities. Kristoffer Lohman, a young solicitor, compulsively collects narratives and information about various perversions, a habit that begins to reshape his own sexuality. Sara, an ostensibly well‑behaved and refined young woman, becomes fascinated by Kristoffer’s pursuits.
