Lagom is a Swedish word meaning "not too much, not too little, just right."

Two people wake up and prepare for their day. What begins as a simple morning routine slowly reveals something unsettling: they're not just getting ready, they're rehearsing themselves.

When they meet, they try to connect. But how do you have a real moment with someone when you're both performing?

This duet explores the exhausting gap between who we are and who we think we need to be and it asks: What if what we're searching for is already inside us?

Lagom is for anyone who's ever felt the weight of trying to be "enough."
