the Netherlands | 24' | 12/2014 | documentary

Three pedophiles give an insight in their minds and thoughts. The sexual feelings of Kasper (24, student), Hugo (35, writer) and Ben (44, financial consultant) are in sharp contrast with their rational moral. How do they cope with this conflict? How do you learn to live with a sexual orientation that is being considered morbid? And how do these high-educated pedophiles deal with the hetero-sexual culture they live in? Among Us is a short documentary of three self-conscious pedophiles giving a merciless insight in their experiences.
