CGiii Comment
Cheap with a heart of gold...and, a very brave film indeed.
Clandestine filming with a handheld in East Berlin...about homos...stoic with balls.
Despite all of its flaws...you can't help but love it.
And...it does have a heart of gold. It really does.

The(ir) Blurb...
Felix from West-Berlin falls in love with Thomas in East-Berlin. At first they keep their relationship going by regular visits from Felix, but the curfew forces him to return every evening. When the East-German authorities become suspicious, Thomas decides to try and flee to the West.
