SEDUCER'S DIARY Based on the famous novel by Søren Kierkegaard about a Scandinavian-style Don Juan. Johannes (30) - or Jo, as he calls himself - lives a secret double life. In the daytime he works as a locksmith. In the nighttime he locks himself into the homes of his costumers while they're away and "borrows" their identity for an evening. He never steals anything and always cleans up after himself making sure that the residents never discover anything. But his "guests", they experience a little adventure. Jo's "guests" are the women that he invites for dinner as he plays the role of the resident of the different homes. Little by little his charming skills has improved to a level where the women never find out who he is in reality – especially ensured by the first and most important of his "safety rules"; To never see the same guest twice. Jo calls it "crashing" and it has become a deep addiction to him. One day Jo is discovered by Cordelia (17), who lives in a villa that he is crashing. Without him knowing it, Cordelia has witnessed one of Jo’s seductions playing the role of her stepfather, who is out of town for a few days. But instead of calling the police, Cordelia has filmed Jo and now uses her recording as blackmail. She's deeply fascinated by his strange project and sees it as a way out of her spoiled boredom - she wants to join him on his next crash! This sets off a journey into a dangerous game of identity, sexuality and deceit, which gradually uncovers the dark secrets behind Jo and Cordelia's escape from their everyday lives. A journey where they at last - in surrendering to the love that grows between them - finds out who they really are, behind the roles they play. ”Seducer's Diary” is a love drama with thriller elements.
