Mating is a cinematic snapshot of two millennial minds navigating the complexities of love, sex, and self-preservation in the digital age. An intimate portrait that lays bare their dreams and desires, along with the fears and uncertainties that shape them.
When Naomi and Edvin meet, an unexpected yet intense relationship unfolds. But where does love end and friendship begin? And does that boundary even matter?
Set against the backdrop of a digital revolution, where finding a partner is as effortless as posting a selfie on Instagram, the film explores intimacy, identity, and the search for connection in a world without clear boundaries.
Parning offers a deeply personal glimpse into the thoughts, emotions, and digital lives of two young people over the course of a year—an exploration of desire and self-discovery in an era where anything seems possible.
