Spanning the five-year period after an intense break-up, In Ashes is an arresting drama and an unconventional coming-of-age tale.
Christian (Rex Leonard), a twenty-something gay man, is trying to get over the heartbreak of his first love. Looking for meaningful connections through emotionless online dating apps, he goes through a whirlwind of experiences. His passion gives way to obsession as he sets out on an intense journey to find new love… and possibly himself along the way.
A deeply personal, semi-autobiographical film from prolific Danish director Ludvig Christian Næsted Poulsen, In Ashes tells a modern story about the search for love, offering up a raw and unflinchingly honest portrait of one young gay man’s quest to find his way in life.
