Twenty-something Berliner Mortiz (Lorenz Hochhuth) wants to settle down and go for bike rides with his boyfriend, but it’s this attempt at emotional connection that precipitates him getting dumped in a city that’s all about letting it all hang loose. And so he surrenders, drifting into the darkest corners of techno-booming clubs where anything goes sexually, and both moral hectoring and the gender binary are hurled through blacked-out windows. With a hint of Paris 05:59: Théo & Hugo, writer/director Hannes Hirsch’s sex-positive dance wears its kinks as a badge of honour in this charged portrait of Berlin club life.
“THE SEX HERE ISN’T TO SHOCK, OR EVEN TO TITILLATE, BUT TO EXPAND MORITZ’S WORLDVIEW.” - CHAD ARMSTRONG, THEQUEERREVIEW.COM
