Handsome, enigmatic biker (Alexander Skarsgård) takes on a timid man as his submissive, sweeping him away from his dreary suburban existence. This is not your typical queer love story. It's messy, erotic and sometimes uncomfortable. But it’s also sexy, tender and surprisingly funny. A dom com you’ll gladly submit to.

'A truly provocative anti-romance that’s funny, honest, strangely touching. It’s an exceptional balance act that makes Pillion the unlikeliest crowd-pleaser.’
