This hit from SLGFF follows Lukas, a young transgender man, as he moves to Cologne
to study and work in the big city. His best friend Ine introduces Lukas to her gay
friends. At a wild party, he meets Fabio, who brims with self-confidence, overt masculinity,
and smoldering sensuality. As their attraction to one another grows, Lukas grapples
with the desire to share himself fully with Fabio and the fear that his reality could
cost him the relationship and acceptance of his friends. Director Sabine Bernardi
uses sincerity and humor to turn this unconventional romance into a tale of love,
friendship, and courage.
