Ester Martin Bergsmark shows his/her examination of the gender terms “male/female”. Shot as an intimate dialogue with the young author Eli Levén in a bathtub, visualized with nature images of Swedish landscapes throughout the seasons, counteracted by advertising images that fetishize national symbols. How do you live and love as a person who is unwilling to subordinate to heteronormativity? How do you define yourself, what categories of identity are you classified under? The film presents social prejudices and both physical and psychological enmities, as well as depicting attempts of self-discovery. Bergsmark and Levén also deal with their own relationship. What do they represent to one another? “She Male Snails” uses powerful visual motifs and set-ups to present personal and social depictions of gender and the somatic.
