A touching and humorous tale of gender roles and two people’s struggle to fulfil their dream of having a child – with the director herself in the female lead.

Frede Rasmussen is a 79-year old man from rural Lolland who has decided, late in life, to seek love as an openly gay man. Having spent decades largely alone and outside the LGBT+ community, Frede steps into the unfamiliar world of modern dating with help from local queer support groups. From creating a dating profile to placing personal ads and going on hopeful yet awkward dates, the documentary tenderly captures his vulnerability, humor, and resilience. Blending warmth with quiet social commentary, the film explores aging, loneliness, and the universal desire for intimacy—proving it is never too late to search for connection.
