Skarsgård is playing the role of an “impossibly handsome leader of a motorbike club” named Ray. Meanwhile, Melling is portraying the character of Colin who is “a weedy wallflower letting life pass him by.” The film follows the story of Ray (Skarsgård) as he takes Colin (Melling) on as his submissive.
“Ray uproots Colin from his dreary suburban life, introducing him to a community of kinky, queer bikers and taking all sorts of virginities along the way. But as Colin steps deeper into Ray’s world of rules and mysteries, he begins to question whether the life of a 24/7 submissive is for him. Has he found his calling, or simply swapped one form of suffocation for another?,” a synopsis of ‘Pillion’ via Variety further reads.
Alexander Skarsgard (The Northman) e Harry Melling (The Queen’s Gambit) estrelarão 'Pillion', descrito como um “romance gay divertido e sujo”.
