SYNOPSIS

After the director places an ad online, two late teens in Stockholm offer to film themselves as they discover online dating. Naomi encounters problems setting up her webcam, and so Edvin offers to help her out. As they develop a roller coaster relationship, they offer up their lives to the camera. Both brutally honest and heart-warming, “Mating” is the ultimate exposé of modern-day dating.
