Nicky has just graduated with a degree in the arts. He asks his friend Koi to be the model for a photoshoot, where she has to wear a costume that won’t show her face. Later, while having dinner together, they talk about their relationship, jobs and among others about the beginning of #MeToo.

This provocative and quirky fiction studies the friendship between a young woman and a young man, whose masculinity and feminist ideas are challenged. Where is the limit of the politically correct? What is considered as harassment in the post #MeToo era? The film playfully tackles those questions.  

Locarno is...

… the place where the leopard shines.
