CGiii Comment

Catchy title!

Watching this now...it's hysterical - the clothes, the hairstyles...wow, did they really dress like that?!?

Then, this was radical film-making.

Now, it's contemporary [gay] history.

But, it is bloody funny (not in a good way).

The(ir) Blurb...

The plot follows the adventures of a young gay man from the provinces who arrives in Berlin. He gradually leaves behind his innocence, led by his increasing appetite for excitement in the big-city gay scene. He moves from one gay milieu to another caught in his addiction for fashion and sexual experiences.
