CGiii Comment
Autobiographical - by a thoroughly unattractive ego (yes, he also stars along with his boyfriend [yawn] and his overly-exposed penis).
It's appeal now is purely nostalgic - strictly for those who saw it when it first came out and want to re-live their disgruntled and dowdy youth.
It was much lauded then - only because the audience were titillated (at seeing so many willies). It was considered daring and cutting edge...that knife has been blunted.
It really is only [bad] porn and it is as bad now as it was then - only the queer radicals thought highly of this - how radical, how passé.

The(ir) Blurb...
Frank Ripploh is a bit of a rascal: he's a bearded and shaggy-haired teacher, and he's gay with a very active sex life and an interest in making films. He keeps his personal life and teaching separate, but he sometimes corrects student papers in public toilets as he waits to score. He cruises constantly, and one evening, he meets Bernd. They become lovers. While Bernd is attentive and caring, Frank gets bored and continues his polymorphously perverse ways. For how long will Bernd and Frank tolerate each other's habits, and for how long can Frank keep his sexual orientation out of the classroom? Things come to a head during Berlin's annual Queen's Ball and the morning after.
