Back home in Lincoln just seventy-five miles away, Brandon Teena was a different person caught up in a personal crisis that had haunted him his entire life. Like many young people, he made costly mistakes and when he inadvertently trespassed between his new love Lana (Chloë Sevigny) and her reckless friend John (Peter Sarsgaard), the mystery unraveled into violence.

The idyllic Lake Constance country side: The small, picturesque harbor towns inbetween fruit plantations. A house in the country with a view on the lake and mom in the garden. Paradise on earth. This is where Janosch lives; a 17-year-old serious lad, expected to graduate from school soon. But he hates his life at the lake. Therefore he is almost relieved to be kicked out of school. Reason enough to finally go his own way, part from mom, his girlfriend and his all too planned-out life. But where to go? Perhaps to Koma, and old school mate living in Dortmund. Koma packs boxes at a brewery, has an apartment, a pretty girlfriend and soon-to-arrive off-springs. And he is a clever skinhead, neither right-winged nor left-winged, just "100% pure skinhead". He is tall, strong, good at kickboxing,too. A hero - Janosch is fascinated. And Koma likes Janosch. Finally he has found someone to hang out with and who admires him. Koma longs to be admired. So Janosch moves in with Koma, works at the brewery like Koma, has a girlfriend like Koma and becomes a skinhead like Koma. From now on Janosch is admitted to Koma's "fortress", an old machine building located in a closed-down quarry. Here the skinhead brags with explosives because "you gotta be able to defend yourself". Despite Janosch or perhaps because of Janosch - Koma is still dicontented, most of the time with hisself, at times with his pregnat girlfriend, always with others, who ruin his life. Then he beats them up. And he is good at it. But sometimes he gets the wrong guy. For example, the young punk at the gravel pit. And Janosch helps his pal, kicks until the punk spits blood. As a reward he is allowed to get a tattoo just like Koma. At the tattoo parlor he notices Zottel. He is a totally different type,. Filthy, stoned, free spirited - but proud of it. He drives a motorcycle and Janosch is still stuck with his Lambretta, so they've got to chat about Koma's "fortress" in the quarry burns down. He's sure he knows who "did it" - those friends from the punk at the gravel pit. If he finds them, he'll "finish them off". And Janosch obediently vows revenge as well. At a rich classmate's birthday party Janosch bumps into Zottel again. Revealing him as a member of fire-eater group. "I wanna learn fire-eating", says Janosch, leaves his secure home behind and pays a visit to Zottel at the trailer camp. Koma knows who "did it", who burned down his "fortress".

"Now you can make good of your promise!" A rude awakening for Janosch. He hangs out at Komaís favourite bar, half-drunk. Koma gives him the answer. They drive to the trailer camp.

A Greek saying states that only women who have washed their eyes with tears can see clearly. This saying does not hold true for Manuela. The night a car ran over her son Esteban, Manuela cried until her eyes ran completely dry. Far from seeing clearly, the present and the future become mixed up in darkness. That same night, while waiting in the hospital, she reads the last lines written by her son in a notebook that he always kept by his side. "This morning I looked through my mother’s bedroom until I found a stack of photographs. All of them were cut in half. My father, I suppose. I have the impression that my life is missing that same half. I want to meet him, I don’t care who he is, or how he treated my mother. No one can take that right away from me." Cecilia Roth as Manuela and Eloy Azorin as EstebanShe never told Esteban who he was, "your father died long before you were born" was all she ever told him. In memory of her son, Manuela leaves Madrid and goes to Barcelona in search of his father. She wants to tell him that their son's last written words were directed to him, even though he never knew his father. But first she has to tell him that, when she abandoned him eighteen years ago, she was pregnant, they had a son, and he has just died. She must also tell him that she named their son Esteban, like his biological father, before he changed his name to Lola. Lola the Pioneer. Manuela goes to Barcelona in search of Lola, her son’s father. The search for a man with that name cannot be simple. And indeed it isn’t.

Long before the Stonewall riots, Masters and Johnson or even the Kinsey Report, there was Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld. A gay German Jew living in 19th-century Berlin, Hirschfeld didn't just champion gay rights -- he discovered them. Now Rosa von Praunheim, the firebrand of German Cinema, tells Hirschfeld's story in this lush historical drama -- from his first sexual stirrings to the eradication of his work by the Nazis. Splicing an enthralling story of discovery and romance with a barbed penchant for politics, von Praunheim presents a compelling account of the doctor who founded the first gay political group in 1897 and established the first medical practice for gays, the renowned Institute of Sexual Science, which thrived until Nazi oppression.
