Alex wakes up in her room and opens the blinds. Sunlight stripes the walls as she faces herself in the mirror. The pages of Anti-Oedipus turn as Alex prepares herself for the world. She has a mission: a fight against powers that are standardizing and totalizing bodies and identities. A fight against hate and fear.



”Miksi se on niin loukkaavaa, kun joku päättää itse kehostaan”


(“Why is it so offensive, when someone makes decisions over their bodies”)



Modem’s “Un chant d’amour” is a song about bodily self-determination and being a human breaking free from binary thinking. In this poetic short film Alex Andra Rekola is Alex, who carries a pansy – the flower of love, longing and thinking – through the city.
